You’re just wrong. The founders recognized that signing the Declaration of Independence was an act of treason. They knew that if they were not victorious in the war, that they were all going to get the William Wallace treatment.
Only from George III’s POV. But he was remiss in his own oath to uphold the law, which is treason in and of itself, although the king’s accountability is supposed to be to a higher power as well as to the people. If the Founders themselves felt that they were being treasonous, they would not have even started an endeavor for independence; the perspective is that they knew that the ruling powers in Britain would regard them as committing treason—which is why the Declaration of Independence is worded as it is, and why the motto was “No king but King Jesus”.
Remember how the left likes to try to Alinskyize things too. They would throw Romans 13 in the Founders’ direction as an example of them not being “subject unto the higher powers”, even though warring for independence is not applicable to such—nobody sought to remove the government in London or kill George III.
All of what I’m saying is in your own signature, or at least I believe it is.
TRUE!!!
