In the beginning the Revolution was not intended to be a war for independence. The Americans were not viewed as equals to Englishmen, and the colonists for the most part considered themselves to be English. The reasons for the rebellion were numerous; Americans wanted representation in Parliament and relaxed laws which governed the colonies. The English saw America as an economic colony. America was meant to be a market for English goods and not a manufacturer of goods. The English discouraged American industry and did not want Americans producing goods that would compete with those made in England There was also the issue of taxes that were imposed by England to finance the costs of the French and Indian War which had been fought by both British troops and Americans. Many thought that it was unfair to impose those taxes on people who were not permitted to vote on them.
The initial purpose of the American revolution was to protest the inequities of the English Law. The war did not become a war for independence until the Declaration of Independence was adopted. That was more than a year after the first battles were fought at Lexington and Concord.
