The British were fighting to keep control of the 13 colonies.


The British also fought against the Americans because the British felt they had the right to do whatever they wanted with their colonies. The British believed that the colonists needed to follow the policies and the laws passed by the British Parliament that dealt with the colonies. These were the British colonies, and the British felt they had the right to govern the colonies. Since the colonists weren’t following some of the rules and the policies, the British believed they needed to take actions to require the colonists to do so. The British believed their entire colonial system could be in danger if they didn’t respond to the protests of the colonists, their violation of rules and policies, and their declaration of freedom.


The British believed they had no choice but to fight the colonists if they wanted the colonies to remain in British control.
