How were British settlements different from French and Spanish settlements?

Although the British colonies started later than both the French and Spanish, it quickly outpaced both in North America. The English colonists were better fed, clothed, and housed than their counterparts. One reason for this was that the French and Spanish colonies were characterized by strong central control exercised by the monarchy. It helped them to get off the mark quickly, but in the end hindered innovation and their ability to deal with changing circumstances. Both the French and Spanish empires were vast. The English colonies were tightly grouped along the Atlantic coastline. This provided them with communication and transportation benefits.
