Why did America fight Great Britain?

Answer 1

because they want to be independent

if you do not know what that means. it means that they want freedom and to be free from all the laws and battles.

Answer 2

They fought Great Britain so that they could form their own country. Great Britain had complete control over America and the people who lived in America wanted independence so they could form a democracy.

Answer 3

the American colinies, if thts wat u mean, fought because the british raised taxes without som1 representing America.

The U.S. colonies wanted to be separate from the British. Brittan did not want to become separate because that would mean they would loose their claim on "the new world".

Answer 4

The English viewed the American colonies as a way to earn money. In this way, the British taxed the colonists and allowed them little freedom. The colonies didn't have any say on what decisions were made, and the decisions that were made were made across an ocean. They were constantly patrolled by British officers, the things that they produced were taxed for benefit of the British, etc. etc. Eventually, the colonists grew tired of being controlled by England and decided to rebel.

Personally, I think the main reason that the colonists wanted to rebel was that they were a separate place - across an ocean! - and they wanted their own say into the decisions that affected them.

Answer 5

Because they did not want to do what the British tells them to do and also they wanted to do what they like to do.

Answer 6

The British Loyalists fought the Americans because they wanted to maintain control of the Colonies. The Whigs favored independence from England. Fortunately, we gained our independence.

Answer 7

For pride.
