England had taxed the colonies unfairly, and they did not want the British soldiers, or redcoats, in their cities. Also, England did not let the settlers settle west of the Appalachian Mountains, so they were enraged. The Boston Massacre, where the redcoats killed several Americans, fed the colonists' anger as well.

RafaThe main reason the American colonies went to war in 1775 was to gain independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. They were angry over taxation without representation. Britain also eliminated any self government in the colonies.

Some went to Nova Scotia, and some went to western Ontario, around London and Windsor. All of this happened during the lead up to the rebellion in the colonies. Pre 1776.
