Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I am not sure what you are looking for, but basically, we were colonies of Britain, (England) and we were all separate, doing our own thing!. We did not mind being colonies, until we were getting rather successful and we liked doing things our own ways, and it became apparent that the British intended to use us, the colonists as a constant source of revenue for them without particularly helping us!. Thus, without any of our say in the matter, or representation, we were being taxed, with the money going to help Britain!. That is the phrase No Taxation without Representation!.
We protested a lot, (Boston tea Party, etc) truly expecting them to stop being unfair to us, but instead, they kept it up!. So, a group of men called the Patriots, began to convince the population of colonists that maybe we should have our own government!. In order to do this, we had to unite the colonies and form a militia (army) which we did, and eventually we won our independence!.
Those that did not approve of turning on the "mother country" were called Loyalists and many fled to Canada!. That is why Canada has a closer affiliation with Britain even now!.
