What was the percentage of colonists who wanted independence from England in 1774?

By 1774, it is estimated that only about one-third of the American colonists actively supported independence from England. This group, often referred to as the Patriots, was opposed by another third who remained loyal to the British Crown, known as Loyalists, while the remaining third were indifferent or neutral regarding the conflict. The desire for independence grew over the following years, especially leading up to the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

How did the colony's come to believe they should declare independence?

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.
