There were several reasons they thought this. The main one was just to be free from Britain's control. Another was the Proclamation of 1763, which forbade the colonists to expand past the proclamation line after they had won the French and Indian War, because the king did not want to deal with the Native Americans, who wanted to keep their land. Also, the Patriots felt they were the victims of "taxation without representation" meaning that Britain was taxing them without letting them have a say in the government, which they felt was unfair.
