Why did we want to be independent? WE have been living on this continent and creating homes and communities since the pilgrims arrived in 1620. The PILGRIMS CAME for religious freedom, to worship God according to their own choices. AFTER 156 years had passed the population had grown to create 13 colonies filled with people choosing to worship God in many separate ways and to work as they chose. They wanted to PURSUE HAPPINESS but this desire was impossible without freedom. BECAUSE citizens from England colonized America King George felt he had the right to tell them how to live. THE LONGER they lived in America, the more independent and free they felt. They REFUSED to follow the demands of King George by creating the Declaration of Independence.
