The declaration of independence more or less said “we’re tired of your crap”.

Freedom from English crap was the reason for the revolution.

“Freedom from English crap was the reason for the revolution.”

BINGO! Now how simple was that? It was simply “F*** off, leave me alone. We don’t need you limeys anymore.” There is nothing complicated about it.

Exactly! The DoI contains a long list of grievances and attempts to find solutions that were all rejected or ignored. Reading that it becomes obvious that there was virtually no aspect of life that the Brits were not trying to control and being insufferable pricks doing it.

it was in the same sense the magna carta and other rebellions against the king were up to that point. they bsically asserted rights came from GOD, the king was human,’co dn’t take them away, and had legitimate power so long as he acted in acordancce ith Godly righteousness, and if he didn’t the people had various levels of remedy they coud use against the king up to removal - or in the colonies’ case, parting ways.
