I am going to need more info then that though.

by this time everyone was already convinced that they needed a self-government.

If we were to re-wind it back in time a few years.

The Boston Massacre
The Stricter laws and harsher taxes
The Boston tea party.
John Adams plea to the other colonist
several newspaper articles stating it was not logical for an island to rule an entire continent.

all led to the colonist moving closer to a self government

EDIT:
I agree with the person below me John adams is good thing to watch.

It would definently help you with your homework and it is also exciting at the same time.

You know what, you should watch the HBO movie 'John Adams'.  It really is good.  it develops the fear, anger, confusion, and the 'how dare you' attitude of the colonists.  

But it was a boiling point.  It took time but 1776 was a boiling point of the upper middle class anger.  

the industrail and enlightenment movement had a huge impact on the events as well.  

aLSO IT IS FUN and easy to watch.
