The American people had growing distrust of government
First of all, most colonists were from Britain. This connected links to the British, so the British could come into America when they wanted. King George the Third implemented many acts into our Nation which angered the colonists. The more acts the King placed on America, the more opposed the colonists got. Then there was the French-Indian War which killed plenty of our men because of how cocky the British were.
Hope this helps
