There were many benefits for the colonies to establish their own country. Two of the leading factors were taxes and inheritance. Taxation without representation was not something the colonies found economically feasible for them. Also, although the colonies were across the ocean, they had inherited British debt, enemies, laws, and culture. The colonies aimed at establishing an identity of their own.
