Colonists broke away from Great Britain primarily due to grievances over taxation without representation, as they were subjected to various taxes and laws imposed by the British Parliament without having any representatives in that body. Additionally, the desire for self-governance and the belief in Enlightenment ideals, such as liberty and individual rights, fueled their push for independence. The accumulation of restrictive policies and increasing control by the British government ultimately led to the desire for autonomy and the formation of a new nation.
