be governed by a strong central government
The Declaration of Independence written in July 1775 by Thomas Jefferson.
England and King George III did not grant the colonists their independence without a fight; rather, the American Revolution, which lasted from 1775 to 1783, was marked by significant conflict. The colonists' desire for independence was fueled by grievances against British rule, notably taxation without representation. After years of warfare and increasing costs, Britain ultimately decided to recognize American independence through the Treaty of Paris in 1783, as continuing the conflict was deemed untenable for both economic and political reasons. Thus, while independence was achieved through struggle, the decision to acknowledge it came from a recognition of the futility of further fighting.
The cause of the Declaration of Independence was the laws and taxes that Britain forced on the colonies. The declaration listed the complaints of the colonists, and declared independence from England. The result was the American War of Independence, in which America was victorious.
The British - American colonists saw that independence from the British Empire would be a benefit both economically and politically. The Revolutionaries sought a more perfect form of self government not available in the Monarchy -Parliamentary system of the UK.
