Answer: they were fighting because they wanted their own independence they were fighting for themselves and they were also fighting so they could have their own rights and not have to pay the taxes that were high and so they didn't have to house British soldiers in their own homes.

Answer:

The colonists fought the British because they wanted to be free from Britain. They fought the British because of unfair taxes. They fought because they didn't have self-government. When the American colonies formed, they were part of Britain.
