“Washington knew what he was doing was a rebellion. He didn’t pretend it was legal. “

So Washington disagreed with the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence?

Or are you saying that there is no attempt in that document to justify what the Colonials were doing?

Apparently all of them did. None of the Founding Fathers were under any illusions that their actions were legal. That's why the launched a revolution to win their independence.

Or are you saying that there is no attempt in that document to justify what the Colonials were doing?

And what were they justifying? Their rebellion.
