The same reason as any colony, independence. The Vietnamese colonists fought a war of independence against France (1946-1954/1st Indochina War). However, one must keep in mind, that revolutions are crimes against the state. The US Civil War was actually called during the time, "the war of the rebellion", which was a revolution for independence...the same as the Revolutionary War of 1775-1783 (4th of July celebration). As Ben Franklin stated when he put his name to the Declaration of Independence, "...at least we'll all HANG together..." (if they lose the war). Legally, if the Colonists had lost the Revolutionary War, they could have been hanged for TREASON against the Crown (Britain)! When the Confederates lost the US Civil War in 1865, the leaders were put in PRISON! Including the President of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis.

The Delaration of Independence
The Declaration of Independence was a letter written to King George telling him that the colonists wanted to be free. It is considered a war document because it is really what started the Revolutionary War.
"Patriots" was the name given to the Colonists who fought for independence. Loyalists aka. "Tories", were those Colonists who remained "loyal" to King George III i.e. England.
the document was called the Declaration of Independence written by Thomas Jefferson
The colonists who wanted to fight for independence from Britain were known as the Patriots.

I am afraid you are confused. The Declaration of Independence was signed BEFORE the war. It resulted in the war. That is why it is called the Declaration of Independence the colonists declared themselves free of England.
