While in Britain, the settlers wanted a new, independent lifestyle that granted them religious freedom and a new life. However, after arriving in America, the settlers wanted to be free of the incredible taxation Britain was placing on them. They also wanted to be free of a monarchy and establish their own government. They could inly do this if they declared independence so they did. All in short, the settlers wanted to be free of Britain's enormous amount of taxation.
