An independent clause (or main clause) can be defined as a clause that can stand by itself, also known as a simple sentence. An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate ; it makes sense by itself. Independent clauses can be joined by using a semicolon or a coordinating conjunction such as for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.

"He moved" is the independent clause because it can stand alone as a complete sentence. "But then" is a subordinating conjunction that introduces the dependent clause which adds more information about the action in the independent clause.
The word "independent" is not capitalized unless it is the first word of a sentence or part of a proper noun or title. For example, in the phrase "independent study," it remains lowercase. However, if it appears in a title, such as "The Independent Spirit Awards," it would be capitalized.
