The Britain's controlled by giving the colonists a deficit, which means that they are making less money then they are buying. Britain said that we let you be free and we have been patient so now its your turn to help us. Also the colonists didn't know how to make produced cotton so they sold it to Britain for (just making it up) 2 dollars. Then the colonists bought it for 3 dollars.

England controlled trade with her colonies through taxation and tariffs. It was illegal to trade elsewhere so England enjoyed a monopoly. Trading profits were excessively high given this structure.
