Best Answer

If they hadn't the United States might be still an English colony. The men who wanted independence were the cream of the colonies. They were the most educated, wealthy, well read, richest people in the colonies. People like Jefferson had read the Enlightenment thinkers and the era of the monarchy was coming to an end. It was a natural movement to want independence.
