I am guessing that you mean the war debt from the French and Indian War (Seven Years War) which ended in 1763. This debt was the reason the British tried to impose taxes on their American colonies in ways they never had before, beginning the train of events that led to the Revolution.
The fact was that most of the troops fighting for the British cause in America during the French and Indian War were colonists, raised and equipped at the expense of the colonies. The colonists thus thought they had ALREADY been taxed to pay the costs of the war, and that the war in North America would not have been won without their participation as soldiers. The result of the war was the complete expulsion of the French from North America and vast new territories for Great Britain, including the entire massive province of Quebec. To now present the colonies with a bill for additional costs of the war seemed greedy and ungrateful.

The settlements had grown and they were less dependent upon the British
The colonists felt that the British government had no right to tax them because there were not any representatives of the colonies in the British Parliament. The colonies had no say in how much the taxes should be or what they should pay for. They didn't think this was fair.
they felt encouraged
angry and determined to be free of the British
They wanted to separate themselves from the British laws.
They claim independence from England because they didn't feel as they have been treated as legal colonies. The British Parliament took advantage of the colonies and taxed them overzealously, and the colonists were not willing to stand for such practices any longer.

Loyalists felt that they had to pay them, while patriots hated the taxes because they felt they should not pay them.
The colonies didnt think they should have to pay taxes like a British subject without a representative in Parlaiment like a British subject gets.
Because it is like a mother and daughter relationship. The British had control over the colonists for a long time. The British did kinda baby them for a while , then British turned. And the colonists was like what is going on; and the British wanted to control the colonists and the colonists had enough so the wanted to rebel. So to answer the question , because the British felt like they were in control because they kinda took the colonists under there wing.
they were angry because the British was stopping then but they still moved west
The colonists held off the British at Bunker Hill until they ran out of ammunition. The British lost a lot more solders than the colonists did.
