Why did the colonists fight the British?
The English viewed the American colonies as a way to earn money. In this way, the British taxed the colonists and allowed them little freedom. The colonies didn't have any say on what decisions were made, and the decisions that were made were made across an ocean. They were constantly patrolled by British officers, the things that they produced were taxed for benefit of the British, etc. etc. Eventually, the colonists grew tired of being controlled by England and decided to rebel. Personally, I think the main reason that the colonists wanted to rebel was that they were a separate place - across an ocean! - and they wanted their own say into the decisions that affected them.
Why did John Adams start the revolution?
John Adams did not start the revolution by himself even though he lived in Boston where it began. The colonists had a large number of grievances against the British government, most of which are spelled out in the Declaration of Independence. In nutshell, what happened was that the British government exploited the colonies by collecting money from them without any proportional return of government services. Colonists were treated as second class citizens who function was to enrich Britain, not given any vote in Parliament, but rather were ruled by a governor appointed by the king and their complaints and protests were ignored or, if they became too forcible to ignore, were met by military action.
