The main reason the colonists created the Declaration of Independence was to break away from British rule and establish their own independent nation. The document was primarily driven by a desire for political and economic independence from the British Empire. The colonists sought to assert their natural rights and liberties, to have representation in governance, and to protect their economic interests from excessive British taxes and regulations. It did not directly address making peace with American Indians or secession of any specific colony like Georgia.
