For being a skilled general on the confederate side of the American Civil War
Britain saw its colonists as a source of PROFIT. What colonists are is people that go to other places, claim land, and make their own colonies. This profited Britain because the colonies that are formed in other places have stuff that Britain doesn't have, and the colonies can come back to great Britain and gives them things that profit them. Also, because the colonists got more land, those lands would first belong to Great Britain because the colonists were not independent from Great Britain, and land costs a lot of money, which means that Britain is getting a lot of money from land.
The French who had direct contact with the Americans were able to successfully implement Enlightenment ideas into a new political system. The National Assembly in France even used the American Declaration of Independence as a model when drafting the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen in 1789.
