Colonies participated in international and imperial trade by the famous Triangular Trade. The colonies participated in the triangular trade with Africa and the Caribbean, building ships and exporting manufactured goods, especially rum, while 'importing' slaves from Africa.
The American Revolution had significant impacts on England. Economically, the loss of the American colonies resulted in a decline in trade and commerce for England. Politically, it led to increased scrutiny of the British monarchy and calls for reform. In terms of foreign relations, England had to adjust its imperial ambitions and focus on maintaining its remaining colonies.
In the late 1890s, the U.S. sought new colonies primarily for economic expansion and to compete with European imperial powers. The desire for new markets for American goods, access to raw materials, and strategic military bases fueled imperial ambitions. Additionally, the belief in Manifest Destiny and the notion of American exceptionalism motivated the U.S. to spread its influence and culture abroad. This period marked a shift towards an active role in global affairs, culminating in events like the Spanish-American War.
"Imperial preference" refers to "preferred", that is reduced, tariffs available to countries or colonies under British rule &/or members of the British Commonwealth as the Empire was later called.
