The events of 1776, particularly the Declaration of Independence, marked a significant shift towards self-government for the American colonists. By formally asserting their desire to break away from British rule, the colonists unified around the idea of self-determination and governance based on the consent of the governed. This year also saw the establishment of various local governance structures and committees, fostering a sense of political agency and autonomy. Ultimately, these developments laid the groundwork for the creation of a new, independent government.
The British had made the colonists branch away from their government because the king had done several things under his rule that upset the colonists.

A major complaint that colonists had with King George III before 1776 was the imposition of taxes without representation. Colonists were frustrated by laws such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, which taxed goods and services without their consent through elected representatives. This perceived tyranny fueled their desire for independence, as they believed they should not be taxed by a government in which they had no voice. Additionally, the colonists resented the restrictions on trade and governance imposed by the British Crown.
