“My entire argument is that Jefferson must be referencing events actually happening in 1776, such as loyalists “domestic violence” against local patriot governments, but not referencing non-existent slave revolts.”

You now want to move the goal post to “domestic violence?”

Please post any sources you have that support your earlier claim that Jefferson's reference to “domestic insurrection” in the DOI refers to loyalists or Indians.

The DOI reference is to "domestic insurrections".

Please name the slave revolts it refers to.

When you find there were no slave revolts at that time, then ask yourself: what other "domestic insurrections" did happen?
The answer is: loyalist insurrections against local patriot governments.
