Answer 1

In the US declaration we started venting about what was wrong with colonial rule, here is the list of them and the link to the National Archives transcript:

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

Answer 2

The British, who owned the 13 colonies, had in basic terms been engaged in a warfare with the French. This warfare is termed the Seven Years' warfare, also everyday because the French-Indian warfare. This warfare value Britain six million kilos, which become money it mandatory in a lengthy time period. with the intention to acquire this mandatory money, Britain began to tax the colonies. The colonial human beings contained in the roots of united states idea this become incorrect. Why ought to Britain have the right to tax them, rather at the same time as Britain is 3 thousand miles away?! the finest reason behind the initiation of the american Revolution is because the colonials idea it become morally incorrect for the British to tax them, regardless of if it become the British who shielded the american colonies from threat in the course of the Seven Years' warfare.

Answer 3

this can not be answered with one or thirty sentences. a lot of years and bad, bad feelings between england the the colonies existed for a LONG time. primarily, the main reason was an unaddressed issue of taxation without representation. for years, the colonies were left on their own to do as they saw fit to survive and established their own culture/economy. then, after years of being an absentee landlord, kinda, england shows up, fights the french/indian wars and england says, ' you know i did this for you and your safety so parliament is going to present you with a bill of english military service. pay it!' the colonies did not ask nor want the military anywhere near their countryside or cities. the americans got along quite well with the french and indians. oh heck, they were outside the colonies and both honored the borders. the queen anne wars were between the french and english. the colonists felt they were being placed, along with the native indians, in the middle as a way to control both by the british. then, to add insult to injury, the colonists were asked, er - no told , to pay for the english interference. this was the straw that broke the back. for an in-dept study of both sides, and both sides should be included, see wikipedia. great, great source.

Answer 4

Patriots or colonists as they were called, were becoming tired of the strangle hold that England had on the colony's. Over taxation and an over bearing rule amongst other factors, led them to feel oppressed and seek separation and Independence from England. Of course England did not want to loose the vast resources that the colony's provided for the homeland and the fight was on.
