They didn’t. There was a small group who pushed Independence and worked to get it done. This took several years for them to do this. For the most part the majority of colonists either didn’t know about Independence or cared until something affected them. Today we have an idea that all the colonies were ready to revolt. This is not true. 90% of the people in the colonies were farmers that lived in rural areas and often get news about events until after they happened. They thought of themselves as English and loyal to the king. The idea of Independence was treason.
