Fresh cheap land. They wanted to farm and take advantage of the terrain .

The Decleration of Independence does uphold the political principles because with out it or country would still be suffering for the lack of money and freedom because of Europe's greed. For example, imagine the U.S. becoming a country like South Africa. We would be poor and helpless because we would have no independence and the right to agree to trading and developing a economic system in general. So my overall arguement stands to show that I support the Decleration of Independence and that it upholds all of Americans political values.
It nearly doubled the size of the United States & it made it clear to other countries that America would try to salve problems/differences peacefully.
