Who benefited from the establishment of British colonies in the Americas? Explain

Many groups of people benefited from the establishment of British colonies in the Americas.

Explanation:

The British Crown benefited because it obtained a new source of income, especially since it applied a mercantilist policy with the colonies, which allowed the metropolis to run trade surpluses with the colonies.

The founders of the colonies, and the subsequent elites of these benefited because they could obtain great wealth from what was essentially unexploited territory.

Finally, colonists/settlers themselves also benefited, by having a safe haven where to go if things in Britain where too hard for them. This is especially true since many of the British settlers in the Americas were either persecuted religious people, or poor peasants who had nothing to lose.

workers of lowell mills were greatly benefited for the waltham type of work which was more a paternalist kind, trying to protect the integrity of this little girls coming from small farmers and providing an adequate place of work, this in an effort to avoid the issues of bad place conditions and immorality that the people in bigger industrialized cities of great britain were experimenting.
