The Declaration of Independence was like a declaration of war, stating that they want to have their own free nation and do whatever it takes. The British responded with war, because they didn't think they needed to change their laws. Great Britain had owned all the colonies, and the patriots were requesting to get their own nation. So overall, the British own all 13 colonies, but the patriots don't WANT that, so the British responded with: War because: They wanted to keep the colonies.
Their enemies were the Patriots, the Patriots were the colonists. A group of people who fought for the thirteen colonies. The Loyalists thought of them as untrained soldiers, and they were correct.

PatriotsThe American Revolution was characterized by a split in the support of colonist belligerents. Those who supported the American independence were called Patriots for their patriotic drive of self-government and republicanism. They were also sometimes called Whigs, who were members of the British Parliament who supported the colonists' side. These Patriots were usually farmers and countrymen who often felt the brunt of the taxes Parliament had levied on the colonies. Those who were against independence were called Loyalists or Tories, who were members of Parliament who were against the colonies.
The first victory, and the first battle, for the Colonialists was in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. It was here that the Colonies formed up Patriots to fight against the British on their march from Lexington. They eventually pushed the British back to the safety of Charlestown which would later lead to the siege of Boston.

Many of the Patriot soldiers did not have a uniform, as the British soldiers did. This is because the Patriots were a militia, made up of men from the colonies who were usually farmers, millers, blacksmiths, and other tradesmen.
