Answer:

They basically wanted more freedom

Step-by-step explanation:

The 13 colonies was not in favor of British rules, and they wanted to have a say in the government. It's basically the same reason why they wrote the Declaration of Independence (or DOI for short). They thought the rules were unfair and wanted to declare independence, drafting the DOI. I hope this helps, and I hope it's not the wrong answer, but I don't think it is.

Answer:

The colonists rebelled against the British because of the excessive taxation that was levied upon all the colonies that were controlled by Great Britain. This was caused by the French and Indian war which lead to Britain's debt for war to double in amount, so in reaction, they had to pay off these war debts.
