Bonus:Why Would A Country Want To Be Independent?
Because some people don’t want to be ran by one King or President
One of the people who wanted the country to be independent was Colonist. Colonists were paying high taxes for a king they didn’t even get to vote for! This made Colonists angry because Britians were imposing tax on them
High taxes increased more
Their debt was growing and Britains were getting broke
War debt so super expensive
Sugar costed 2x worse and the civilians were not feeling it

They wanted to make their own rules and not under a king
