It was a letter that was meant to be seen by the world so that everyone can understand why they made this decision.

W HY DID THEY HAVE TO GO TO WAR ? They had to go to war because after King George had read the Declaration of Independence he was angry that the colonies wanted freedom and the colonies knew they had to fight to gain their freedom.
