Best Answer

At that time the colonies were in revolt against Britain, which wanted to keep them in the Empire by all means including war. The Declaration was necessary as a formal statement to Britain and the world that the colonies intended to be free of British rule.

If Britain had voluntarily given the colonies their freedom (or otherwise addressed their many grievances, as suggested by Lord North) there would have been no need for them to declare independence unilaterally.
