On the not so good things were certain diseases unknown to the New World, along with the notion ( held by their rivals ) that the New World was territory they could claim as their own.
Early on in the 17th century they bought slaves to work the tobacco and cotton farms. They legalized slavery in the 18th century.
On the other hand, they abolished the slave trade from Africa to their plantations in the West Indies. Later in the 19th century they abolished slavery in the areas of the New World they controlled.
They also brought with them a "plan" to reimburse slave owners when slavery was abolished. This is said to have cost them over $100 million. It was a method that Lincoln thought about as he wrestled with slavery in the UNited States.
