The colonists' tried to restore peace with the Olive Branch Petition but the king rejected the petition and that's when the colonists' got together for the First Continental Congress.
In 1775, the Colonists tried to patch up differences by sending a petition to the King of England. This petition called for a variety of measures in which the Colonies would agree to the King's demands under a few conditions. The King would not even read the petition, so the next step was the Revolutionary War.
The Olive Branch Petition was America's last effort to create peace with England. It was written by John Dickinson and adopted by the Continental Congress on July 5, 1775.
Great Britain tried to make the Anglican Church the church of the nation. The colonists fled in search of a land that would allow them freedom to practice their religion, or no religion at all.

The colonies becamecompletely autonomous from Great Britain and considered themselves their own entity with their own established government body. However, this autonomous attitude of the colonies also lead to the American Revolution because after the 7 years war (French & Indian war) the colonists had a bad taste in their mouths from Britain's forceful attempt to make the colonists side with them against France. After the war, the GB began to renege on the policy of salutary neglect and thus the many "tax" acts were set in place. At this point the colonists began to revolt against GB's sudden hands on approach and the Revolutionary war began.

Yes, because Britain is treating the colonists unfairly, and the colonists have rights to stand up and take action! Britain is violating those right, and the colonists are doing nothing to stop them! If the colonists separate from Britain, they then get to make their own laws, have their own government, and freedom!
They wanted to expand westward and gain more land.
The Declaration of Independence was needed to stated the colonists independence from Britain and to make laws for the colonists government.
