The American colonies declared independence from Britain because of the taxation.
Great Britain practiced a policy of mercantilism, where its colonies existed solely to benefit the mother country. This aggressive economic policy, coupled with the Navigation Acts which forced the colonies to engage in trade with Britain only, resulted in a massive deficit of the colonies to the British Crown. Up until the beginning of the American Revolution, most, if not all, of the original thirteen colonies were indebted to Great Britain.

I believe you're slightly confused. Mechantalism was an economic theory that said that for a country to be wealthy and powerful, it had to export more than it important and the colonies were to be founded for the sole purpose of making money for the mother country.

what American revolution travelled to Europe to try to bring peace between Britain and the American colonies
At the time of the American Revolutionary War, the 13 original British/American colonies were fairly prosperous. The American colonies had provided Great Britain with a strong foothold in North America below its possession of British Canada. The American colonies, if not overtaxed and basically taken for granted by Great Britain, might have made the British Empire even stronger than it already was. There is nothing that would have prevented Great Britain from remaining to this day the most powerful nation in the world. This is of course subject to debate.
