If I were an american colonist I would prefer to declare independence from great britain because it would make everything easier. Some things that would be made easier are the laws because then the colonists wouldn't have to suffer through all the unfair acts placed on them by the king. Another thing that would be made easier is that then, the British wouldn't have to worry about the colonists dislike them anymore.

I would try to declare independence because even though it's more risky and might get me killed its still worth fighting for where I live and my community. Nobody even in this day and age should take your freedom and independence away from you. You should be able to do what you want without knowing you might get killed or punished. -Daniel Moringiello

I would declare independence because I think it is worth fighting because Britain has never done anything good for the Colonists and just wants to make everything harder so I would not just try to smooth things out with them. I would not let the British walk all over us I would want to do something about it.

I would declare independence becuase I don't think it was fair of what great Britian was doing to us. Another reason is I would not want to sit around doing nothing while Great britian is declaring all these taxes.

If I were an American colonist I would declare independence because of the taxes. The taxes that the British made the colonists pay I feel was unfair and should not have been enforced.

I would try to declare independence because then I would be able to create my own laws/rules that were fair to everyone. Great Britain has only enforced things that benefited them so it would be time we help ourselves out.

I would prefer to smooth things over because Britain had a strong army and they may beat us in war. If we do end up winning we would have to build a brand new country with a new government and economy.

If I was an American colonist I would definitely declare independence. After everything Great Britain put the colonists through they don't deserve to rule us. I would fight for my freedom and break away from Great Britain.

I would declare independence because if we stayed with Britain high tensions are just going to get worse and worse. This might lead to more deaths then a war and cause a disruption. Also we would be forced to with Britain forever meaning we would have to pay more for future wars. We get independence and freedom to start our own country.
