It basically comes down to money.
Initially the British saw the colonies as an interesting distraction, however, after seeing the potential the was for agriculture and manufacturing they became competition. At that point Britain was in the midst of the Industrial Revolution and probably the most wealthy nation on earth.
In order to control/ regulate the "competition" as well as derive an income from the situation they instituted a number of taxes on goods originating from or produced in "the new colonies".
In some cases this saw goods exported from America (with the appropriate tax), taxed on entry into Britain, processed and then reexported back to America (again with taxes added on).
Ultimately this lead to dissatisfaction by the colonists which in turn resulted in various acts of rebellion (Boston Tea Party) which escalated into the War of Independence
Britain wanted it for settlement and farming, and France wanted it for fur trading with the Indians

Constant oppression, and cruelty. America wanted to be Independent and Free. They knew they would never have it until they got rid of England, and King George III.
Following the French and Indian War (Seven Years War in Europe), France no longer presented a threat to the westward migration of American colonists. With the British expected to protect the colonists from the Indians, many wanted to move west to acquire land, seek adventure, and establish farms and towns and businesses. The main reason was to improve the lot of the colonist and his family.

The reason the British Government raised revenue for the colonies was because they spent a lot of money during the French and Indian War. So the British thought that it would be okay to tax them becausr they were part of the War
