Absolutely not. Imagine yourself walking into Microsoft headquarters and declaring, "I now own Microsoft." Just saying so doesn't make you the owner of Microsoft, and just saying so didn't make the colonies independent.
In order to free themselves from British rule, the colonists had to fight and win the Revolution War. The War had actually begun a year earlier, in 1775, and did not conclude until 1783.
