Some are: economic problems, discontent with autocratic rule, taxation, freedom, Colonists wanted to separate from England and get rid of taxes.
The protest was against taxes without representation in Parliment.
Thirteen American colonies wanted to be free from rule by British .Freedom would make it possible to create a new kind of government without a King
The battle of Yorktown was the last battle of the Revolutionary War.
The colonists requested/declared their independence from Britain due to the extreme taxes that were being imposed upon them.
They had no say in the decision to collect those taxes

They intended to hide their identity from the British, as their acts would most certainly lead to harsh punishments.
France hated the British with a passion, almost to a fault. They felt anything they could do to harm Britain would be good for them. The main if not only reason for Spain to get involved was to regain Gibraltar and keep the areas of North America they controlled (Florida for one) from falling into British hands.
Thomas Jefferson Defined it in the 'Declaration of The Rights of Man and The Citizen' as: 'Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same rights. These limits can only be determined by law.'
1777
The Declaration of Independence was written in the summer of 1776 primarily by Thomas Jefferson, agreed upon on July 2 by the Second Continental Congress, sent to the printer on July 4, and all signatures were collected in the following weeks.
This battle was actually started by accident! No one knows which American shot first, but it was done so out of fear or nervousness.
Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton
