That was the time of the colonialism, so, all the European countries went on trying to get more land for its people because they had to get richer to not to get out of business. The England colonized the North America because of this reason, they established the thirteen colonies with a great strategy: the north colonies would serve like the headquarters of the metropole on the new continent and the ones by the south would be extractivists colonies. Then, the England could control the things in the north America, without being afraid of get out of business.
