First they declared that they were independent by sending the Declaration of Independence to King George. Then when the king didn't agree, they fought the Revolutionary War with the British. When the British decided they weren't making enough progress in the war and the costs were mounting in casualties and money to fight the war, they agreed the colonies were an independent country.
