The colonies helped make England wealthy for multiple reasons.
1) Resources. Minerals such as gold and silver in the Americas were shipped back to England and used to increase the country's wealth.
2) Marketplace. The colonists in the Americas served as both producers and consumers of goods. Raw materials were sent from England to the Americas, where colonists would turn those raw materials into finished products and send them back to England to be sold. Also, finished products from England could be sent to the colonies as a new place for more people to buy them.
There was a group of young european workers that came to America from early 17th to early 20th century. These inmigrants would get a contract to work for an american employer during a time period, usually between 1 to 7 years. They didn't get any wages for their work, the employer paid for their subsistance and their passage to the country, but that also meant that he could restrict some of their activities, they weren't completely free. After their contract expired, they were allowed to stay in the country and sometimes they would get a small parcel of land. They were called the Indentured servitude.
