Final answer:

The British policy of taxing and tightening control over the American colonies spurred their desire for independence.


Explanation:

The British policy that convinced many American colonists to form their own country was the series of acts passed by Parliament to raise money to protect and maintain the colonies.

These acts, which included taxing the colonists without their consent and tightening control over the colonies, led to American leaders arguing for their rights under the British constitution, demanding elected representation for taxation, and rejecting taxes aimed at generating revenue.

This increasing oppression and lack of autonomy ultimately fueled the colonists' desire for independence, prompting them to declare their own country and fight for it.
