Explain how a new sense of identity lead to the rebellion of the colonists. how did they previously view themselves? why did this change? hurry.

Well, the new sense of identity led the colonist to have a desire for independence. They viewed themself as independent from Britain, as their own nation pretty much. The British Crown misunderstood that the colonists increasingly saw themselves as a separate people, due to their own voice in their own affairs. The American war for independence was partly a product of the colonists' sense of a distinctive identity as inhabitants of a republican society. But the revolution also helped to nurture a sense of a uniquely American identity. The Revolution was a colonial war for independence, but it was also a struggle over "who would rule at home."
