The colonies did not want to be controlled and they began a fierce battle to gain independence. The Congress made a secret vote on July 2, 1776 to separate with Britain, thus essentially forming a new, independent nation.

On July 4, 1776, two days later, the final version of the Declaration of Independence received the approval and was published.
