False, or at least not entirely true. When the war beganmost participants believed they were fighting to regainEngland's recognition of the colonists' traditional rights as British citizens. Only when the King himself refused their petitions and labeled them as in rebellion, not under his protection, did the tide begin to shift toward independence (self-rule).

Of course, many of the rights the colonists sought to regain --believing they had been compromised over the previous 15 years -- did involve their rights to make many decisions for themselves, tax themselves, etc. So in that sense, they wanted the newer type of "rule" to end.
