Why were The Colonies so valuable to Great Britain?
Depends on which colonies. The Thirteen Colonies in North America provided a valuable source of raw materiel, which colonial merchants/companies sold to British merchants, which allowed Great Britain to compete as a trading power. Additionally, the raw materiel provided by the colonies towards Britain was a boon to Great Britain's ability to make war (vis a vis requisitioning these resources in times of crisis), and was a general aid to the British economy. Furthermore, the social and political thought of the times made the colonies (particularly the American colonies) a prestigious possession that brought honor and legitimacy to the British crown, and the British parliament. Ultimately, however, Britain would acquire far more practical, and far more valuable colonies in the course of the 19th century.
How did the Great War for Empire change relationship between England and its American colonies?
In some ways it brought it closer temporarily because the colonies didn't want to side with the French because they wanted their land and they thought the French would control them if they defeated England. But at the same time the colonies were already pushing towards independence and wanted to get rid of Britain and their imposed taxes and laws. But in order to move forward the French had to be defeated so the colonies sided with Britain temporarily. The relationship was weakened through this because of America's independent values.
Why did Britain pursue a policy of salutary neglect towards her American colonies?
Britain pursued a policy of salutary neglect toward her American colonies because Britain wanted obedience from them and without restrictions, the colonies would flourish. Salutary neglect is an undocumented, though longstanding, British policy of avoiding strict enforcement of parliamentary laws, meant to keep the American colonies obedient to Great Britain. Britain also passed unjust laws and many different acts upon the colonists to keep their loyalty towards them. Salutary neglect was a main factor for many battles and wars and it was mainly so Britain wouldn't lose the colonists' loyalty and they would stay under their government.
