The Americans led by George Washington wanted to become independent of the British yoke because the British sank them into taxes and did not allow Americans to grow up.

In Latin America, Simón Bolívar (leader of Venezuelan independence) and San Martín (leader of Argentine independence) also gained independence from the Spanish yoke for similar reasons.

But I think that in both cases there were civil wars between loyal to their crowns (British and Spanish) and patriotic rebels to the land where they were born. the rebels wanted to be free for reasons of growth.
