To stop the French
The french had the NE territories of the continent and King George wanted to curtail/stop their expansion

Further, the colonies had natural resources that could be sent back to merry ol England, e.g. tobacco. The English were expanding their empire and by the time Queen Victoria took her reign, the sun never set on the British Empire.
