The colonies decided to revolt from England because of British corruption and control. Taxation and limited representation caused colonists to feel like they had no voice but still had to pay and follow British laws. This unfairness caused tension and anger. The intolerable acts and further British action caused this tension to grow to pure conflict and violence.

The British started to treat the colonists worse and worse. Not giving them a voice in parliament or asking them about the laws that they were putting into place. This enraged the colonists and caused higher tensions leading to the revolution.

We wanted to revolt because, over and over again, we were told to do things, and never listened to. They were TOLD to obey the sugar act, the quartering act, the stamp act, the tea act, the port act, etc. and no one explained the benefits of these acts. Another example of this was the Proclamation Line of 1763. In all these cases, the colonists felt their freedoms were being taken away...they didn't have a say.

One cause of the Revolution was the fact that Britain was treating the colonists unjustly through the intolerable acts. This included a limitation on town meetings, the giving of Quebec back to France, and forcing the colonists to purchase tea. These actions infuriated many of the colonists and encouraged a revolution.
