American colonists justified waging war and breaking away from Britain by arguing that their rights as Englishmen were being violated through oppressive taxation and lack of representation in Parliament. They believed that the oppressive measures imposed by the British government, such as the Stamp Act and the Intolerable Acts, were infringements on their liberties. Additionally, Enlightenment ideals about self-governance and individual rights fueled their desire for independence, as they sought to establish a government that would be accountable to the people. Ultimately, they viewed war as a necessary means to secure their freedom and establish a new nation based on democratic principles.
