The real reason is, and you will not believe this, money. There were two sides to it.
First, taxation without representation. Self-explanatory.
Second, high tariffs and outright trade restrictions on non-English imports. So high, in fact, that a good bit of smuggling occurred prior to 1776. Merchants stood to make much more money if the tariffs were removed.

Why did America fight for independence from England?

They wanted to be called New Englanders instead of Englanders

Don’t care the reason, just glad we did it. England is full of cucks these days

In retrospect, it was a huge mistake and about 100 years too soon.

Because they were a bunch of rioting, looting, cop killing, tax cheating anarchists who didn’t obey the rule of law or respect their country.

We didn’t. Our independence was from Great Britain.

The Globalist Left is going to destroy the USA one day.
Freedom-loving people one day will have to look to create a new and separate nation-state on this land we call America.

It was a bunch of rioting, looting, “Colonist Lives Matter” thugs just rebelling against the government because they thought the law was unfair to them.

History usually says more about the people who wrote it, then what actually happened.

I know it's true. My Grandfather had a ice house. Not that unusual in very rural areas back then. Packed in sawdust from the saw mill.

Colonists wanted to get rid of injuns but England recognized injun nations as legitimate states with treaty rights and whatnot.

Thomas Jefferson also had a huge ice storage cellar at Monticello in Virginia. It was something like 20-feet deep and kept ice through the summer.
These were pretty brilliant and innovative people. A lack of modern technology did not cancel out their intellect and ingenuity.

Thats funny right there, I don't care who you are.
*Actually the Colonists hated buffaloes. They thought they somehow disrespected the image on their nickles. They wanted to go there and kill them*
