Answer:

Valuable goods like cotton were essentially the main drivers of conflict between European Countries in the Americas.

The reason why European Countries established colonies in the Americas in the first place was to obtain valuable goods that could only be produced or found there: goods like cotton, rice and sugarcane.

The possession of territories were these goods were produced often resulted in armed conflict. The French-Indian war, which occurred two decades before the American Revolution, is an example.
