In 1770s, many colonists were angry because they didn’t have self-government and this was a problem because it meant that they couldn’t govern themselves and make their own laws so they had to pay high taxes to the king.

Economy 
The economy in the colonies was varied regionally, was mostly centered around agriculture and exporting materials back to England. The southern colonies had large plantations that grew tobacco or cotton and required slave labor, while northern colonies had small family farms.

England needed raw materials that her colonies could supply. Lumber, wool, iron, cotton, tobacco, rice, and indigo were among the products needed in England. 
 
Colonies
The British Empire began to take shape at the beginning of the 17th century, through the establishment by England of the 13 North American colonies, which were the origin of the United States as well as the Canadian maritime provinces.

There was also the colonization of small islands in the Caribbean Sea such as Jamaica and Barbados.

The main atraction  and benefitsof those colonies was that whaling and cod fishing, both seasonal activities, prompted the settlement of the first French colonists on the continent. Of course, only a small proportion of the population were directly involved, but fishing and whaling nevertheless continued to be a significant component of the economy throughout the course of the French regime and even much later.

But the fur trade was the real economic driver of New France. The harvesting of furs created wealth, stimulated the exploration of the continent and created alliances with many Aboriginal peoples.

Lastly, although France’s mercantilist policy prohibited the establishment of companies likely to compete with those of the mother country, numerous initiatives gave rise to an artisanal and industrial sector.

As the English, Spanish and Dutch began to arrive, the race for colonization started. By the 1720’s the colonies of Canada, Acadia, Hudson Bay, Newfoundland and Louisiana that made up New France were well established.

In Illinois the French colonists settled in the southwestern part of the state along the Mississippi River and created the towns of Prairie du Rocher, Kaskaskia, St. Philippe, and Cahokia.

Fort Nassau, on Castle Island along the Hudson, near present-day Albany.

the first Dutch colony in North America, and spanned parts of what is now New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, and Delaware.

How did they established there?

The Dutch began to build forts along the North (Hudson,) South (Delaware,) and Fresh (Connecticut) Rivers.

Colonists arrived in New Netherland from all over Europe.

And the benefits they obtained from that colony? (economic, natural resources, political)

Dutch colonization focused on the construction of settlement colonies for the Calvinists, commercial emporiums within the Orient, and plantation colonies that in turn were used as bases for the smuggling of merchandise and the sale of slaves to the Spanish colonies
