The British allowed the self 'local' rule mainly because the colonies were so far from England and early on many people died while they were developing. Also they started sending England a lot of goods, fish, produce, silver, and tobacco.

It was when Britain wanted more and more that the problems developed. The people of the colonies having been far from England for so long they felt their freedom and refused to lose it. This is how the 'Great Experiment', the Constitutional Republic that is the United States, was created.
