The Americans had several reasons to fight for independence from England. At the end of the 18th century, Britain was entrenched as the leading power in the global market. After defeating France in the seven-year war, it no longer needed the support of the colonies. And it began to exploit them mercilessly. The American colonies were not allowed to trade with anyone except Britain. In addition, the adopted stamp duty hit the dealers and lawyers very badly. Americans perceived it as a threat to freedom of the press and political agitation. In addition, the trade policy of Britain led to the impoverishment of the population, especially the underclass. All this led to the beginning of the struggle for independence.
