Indicate the aspects that determined the essence of the differences between the colonies and the metropolis between England and the USA

For a long time, the English colonies, which had become much richer and more independent, did not try to change their position, since the English metropolis protected them from the Spaniards and French, whose colonies were located nearby. However, at the beginning of the 18th century, the situation changed. First, England seized the French colonies after the Seven Years War, which meant the elimination of the external threat to the colonies. Secondly, England introduced additional taxes in the colonies.
