The reason it's called the Declaration of Independence is that it was an open letter to the King informing him of the problems and declaring " free and independent states." They didn't put a time on it, but to the king it was treason so they knew that there would be a reaction. The Kings reaction at first was he thought of the colonies as spoiled children, but when Bunker Hill happened he knew that there would be a fight. To both parties it would take as long as it would take. Washington knew he had a fight with the world's largest and trained army of the time.
