The war that resulted from objections to British mercantilism by the original thirteen colonies was the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). Colonists opposed various British policies and taxes, viewing them as exploitative and detrimental to their economic freedom. This discontent eventually led to a broader push for independence and the formation of a new nation. The war culminated in the colonies breaking away from British rule and establishing the United States.

The Quartering Act was enforced by the British Parliament in 1765 to address the logistical challenges and costs of housing British troops stationed in the American colonies after the French and Indian War.

Actually, it is a misnomer that the colonies were united. They were not. Many people remained loyal to the king, some didn't want to be pulled into the fight, and it was a small group of men who wanted to push for separation. Had the colonies been united the British wouldn't have found friends nor help and they did. The Articles of Confederation also showed that each state saw itself as an individual entity and not part of a whole. It took the constitution to unite the country as a country.
The First Continental Congress convened on September 5, 1774, in Philadelphia, bringing together delegates from twelve of the thirteen American colonies (excluding Georgia) to address colonial grievances against British rule. The Congress aimed to unify the colonies in response to the Intolerable Acts and to formulate a collective action plan. It resulted in the adoption of the Continental Association, which called for a boycott of British goods and established a framework for colonial cooperation. This gathering marked a crucial step towards the eventual push for independence from Britain.
The British introduced the Navigation Acts as a part of the Mercantilist system. Products either coming to or going from the colonies could only be carried on British Ships. Certain products, including tobacco, sugar and rice could only be shipped to Great Britain. The Mother Country was to have a monopoly on the manufacture of goods produced from raw materials in the colonies. The British wanted to become economically self-sufficient and to primarily push forward laws that would benefit the Mother Country above all else, excluding the colonies.
The second continental congress push in the 1775 did push for independence from the United Kingdom. The colonies wanted to be free.
