British control significantly restricted the movement of goods to and from the thirteen colonies through a series of mercantilist policies and navigation acts. These regulations mandated that certain commodities could only be shipped to England or its colonies, limiting trade with other nations. Additionally, British tariffs and taxes increased the cost of imported goods, further stifling colonial trade. This control fostered resentment among colonists, contributing to the desire for independence and the eventual American Revolution.
This statement is incorrect; before 1776, the territory that is now the United States was primarily a collection of thirteen colonies under British control, not France. These colonies were established along the Atlantic coast and operated independently in many ways, though they were subject to British governance. France did have colonial interests in North America, notably in Canada and the Mississippi River region, but the thirteen colonies themselves were predominantly British. The American Revolution began in 1775, leading to the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
After losing to the thirteen colonies in the American Revolutionary War, the British primarily focused on Canada as a significant territory to maintain their influence in North America. They solidified their control over Canada, which remained a British colony and served as a buffer against the expanding United States. Additionally, the British retained other territories, including parts of the Caribbean and various islands, as they adjusted their colonial strategy following the loss.
During the 18th century, British colonies in North America, particularly those along the Atlantic coast, were giving the British government significant problems. The Thirteen Colonies, especially Massachusetts, Virginia, and New York, were increasingly resistant to British taxation and governance, leading to tensions that culminated in events like the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution. Additionally, colonial resistance to British authority and enforcement of trade laws created ongoing conflicts that challenged British control.
St. Augustine, Florida was never part of the original thirteen colonies. St. Augustine was established by the Spanish in 1565. The southern-most colony of the original thrteen was Geogia. The British gained control of the city in 1763 and it remained loyal to Britain during the Revolutionary war. It was briefly returned to the Spanish in 1784 because of a provision of the Treaty of Paris.

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.
There were several factors that all worked together to draw Britain's attention to the American colonies. The first factor was France and Spain's withdraw from the American colonies, leaving Britain as the only control. The thirteen colonies between South Carolina and Main had also grown in trade and economy. The colonies had also developed urban centers and large populations, this meant that the colonies had a strong economy and society independent from the British government which drew Britain's attention.
