The English were so well because they were a world power. They had strong armies and were successful in many other areas as well. You will see this if you view a map from the time period they controlled America, they controlled many other areas as well.

∙ 14y agoThere are several reasons for the success of British colonies in America. Many settled in areas that were abundant with fertile soil and Natural Resources. The Joint Stock Company, which outfitted many of the early colonies, was an economic success for the owners of the companies and the colonists who obtained passage and start-up necessities from the Company. Once established, the colony would have a ready made market for its products. New England provided fish and lumber, two important ingredients for a successful British economy. The British, prior to the French and Indian Wars, let the colonists alone. While there were Navigation Laws enacted to regulate the colonies, the British practiced the policy of "salutary neglect." As long as the colony was making a profit, smuggling and other violations of the Laws were overlooked. Also, the British welcomed all nationalities and most religions to the colonies. As long as rules were obeyed and the Laws respected, French, Spainish, prisoners, lower classes, etc. were allowed to come to America and settle in the British colonies.

How did the English colonies differ from the Spanish colonies in the Americas at the beginning of the eighteenth century?
Although the British colonies started later than both the French and Spanish, it quickly outpaced both in North America. The English colonists were better fed, clothed, and housed than their counterparts. One reason for this was that the French and Spanish colonies were characterized by strong central control exercised by the monarchy. It helped them to get off the mark quickly, but in the end hindered innovation and their ability to deal with changing circumstances. Both the French and Spanish empires were vast. The English colonies were tightly grouped along the Atlantic coastline. This provided them with communication and transportation benefits.

What were the Dutch people's motivations and reasoning for coming to the New World?
Simply put: trade. The few small colonies they set up (later New York one of them) were basically trading posts. Fur was the thing they were most after, just like the French and English elsewhere. Keeping up those 'colonies' turned out to cost more than the fur trade generated in income. The Dutch were therefore far from unhappy when a peace treaty with the English legalized the earlier English conquest of New Amsterdam, but offered the Dutch Surinam in return with its possibilities for setting up very profitable sugar plantations.
