In the 17th century, English business like the East India Company and the British government saw colonies as sources of raw materials (like tobacco, rice, indigo, sugar, rum, and cotton) and a market for English goods (manufactured products). British as an Empire required wealth they establish colonies in America so that they could gain raw materials and earn profits. They did not want the Americans to gain self-dependent by engaging in trading with the other Europeans nation like the Netherlands. The British put taxes on imported goods to discourage this practice, and forced the colonists to buy only British products. England relied on a corporate settlement (colonies) in North America by Company like Virginia, Plymouth, and others.
