The Thirteen Colonies were originally settlements founded for different reasons such as to practice religion freely, earn money from Natural Resources, as well as have a completely different lifestyle. Over many years settlements turned into colonies and thus the Thirteen Colonies were formed.
The colonies supported the British, since British involvement in the war was actually about protecting its colonies from their French adversaries.

The "main" reason the British established the 13 colonies was for financial opportunity. They wanted to take over New France and control the fur trade. Other reasons the colonies were found: to avoid religious persecution and for profits.
Other than New England briefly, the Thirteen Colonies were never unified into a single colony and then divided up. They had each originally been a small settlement by Europeans (mostly English, but there were also Dutch and French settlers) and grew into the larger colonies over time. In the late 1600's, the New England colonies plus New York and New Jersey were indeed briefly united into a single large colony, but it only lasted a couple years because it was just too large to easily govern and the governor was very unpopular.

Thirteen Years was created in 1994.
The king's neglect of the thirteen colonies was beneficial because it allowed them to develop their own systems of self-governance and establish a sense of independence. With attention focused elsewhere, the colonies had the freedom to experiment with new economic policies and expand their influence without significant interference from the crown. This ultimately laid the foundation for the American Revolution and the establishment of the United States.
