Best Answer

Richard Henry Lee suggest that the colonies become independent because Lee said that the colonies no longer owed the king.

Lee proposed a resolution at the Continental Congress that "We are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states," as part of John Adams' political maneuvering. Adams felt the resolution would gain more support if presented by a southerner.
