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.
In the thirteen colonies the debtors settled in Georgia.
Europeans left their home countries to settle in the thirteen colonies for various reasons, including the pursuit of economic opportunities, religious freedom, and political autonomy. Many sought to escape oppressive governments or religious persecution, particularly groups like the Puritans and Quakers. Additionally, the promise of land and resources in the colonies attracted those looking for a better life and the chance to build new communities. Overall, the potential for social mobility and a fresh start motivated many to embark on this journey.

Australia was one of Britain's colonies. The first white people to settle in Astralia were British convicts in 1788 or so.
England had taxed the colonies unfairly, and they did not want the British soldiers, or redcoats, in their cities. Also, England did not let the settlers settle west of the Appalachian Mountains, so they were enraged. The Boston Massacre, where the redcoats killed several Americans, fed the colonists' anger as well.

Royal proclamation of 1763. After the French and Indian wars the British had won the Ohio valley territory (Basically everything from the East coast to the Mississippi river). However, the British did not want the colonies to settle west of the Appalachian mountains because they were having enough problems controlling them while they were relatively close on the coastal colonies. So, most of the land between the mountains and the Mississippi river became Indian territory although a few adventurous souls did settle there. After the colonies broke free of England they began to settle the Ohio valley. We stopped there until after the Louisiana purchase got us even more land. Finally we took the west coast from Mexican/Spanish control.
From the time of the colonies, America has been the land of immigrants. They have settled in all areas of the country from the thirteen colonies on the east coast all the way out the western boundary of the Pacific Ocean.
The territory north of the original Thirteen Colonies, primarily present-day Canada, was settled by the French in the early 17th century, with significant exploration and colonization efforts led by figures like Samuel de Champlain. The British later gained control of much of this territory following the Seven Years' War, leading to increased settlement by English-speaking populations. Ultimately, after the American Revolutionary War, British North America continued to expand, incorporating various territories north of the colonies.

PROPRIETARY COLONIES were grants of land in the form of a charter, or a license to rule, for individuals or groups. They were used to settle areas rapidly with British subjects at the proprietors' expense during the costly settlement years.
