The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Blanche K. Bruce’s senatorship was different from that of Hiram Revels in that although Hiram Revels was the first African American in the United States Senate, he did not serve the entire six years term that is allowed for senators. The first African American Senator that indeed served his whole six years term was Blanche K. Bruce.
Hiram Revels entered the Senate after white Senator Albert G. Brown resigned in 1861. When Revels term ended he went to lead what today is Alcorn State University. In the case of Blanche K. Bruce, his term started in 1875 and ended in 1881. After his period he went to work for the US Treasury.

Explanation:
As for material wise, the English realized that the American Colonies could provide a stable stream of funds that relied on the production, refining, and sale of many different supplies and crops. Such examples would be Tobacco, Sugar (not 100% on this one), and Cotton (later on). Other products that could be produced in the Americas were whale oil and seafood. As for influence, the English noticed that they could claim large parts of Unclaimed (and sometimes claimed, which they woukd fight for) North America such as parts of Canada and almost the entire East Coats in order to spread the influence of the Crown further throughout the world. It was also a power struggle fight between Britain, France, and Spain, which was another reason for the colonies.
