The colonists decided to fight the British due to a combination of rising tensions over taxation without representation, restrictive trade policies, and a desire for greater autonomy. Events like the Boston Tea Party and the Intolerable Acts fueled resentment and unity among the colonies. They believed that their rights as Englishmen were being violated, prompting them to seek independence and self-governance. Ultimately, the desire for freedom and control over their own affairs drove them to take up arms against British rule.
