Best Answer

In the beginning of the war, colonists were upset that they were being taxed from the British, for a war they had nothing to do with. Many of the colonists rebeled and they wanted to be independent. So all and all. They fought to form a new nation because they didn't want to be under British rule; a country 3,000 miles away.
