“Your reference was to men freeing themselves from a king.”
I suppose a case could be made the rebels of 1776 didn’t like the concept of a king, but I like the way they styled their fight for disunion better: “A Price whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”
The rebels were fighting against what they saw as tyranny. For some reason they believed “. . . Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed . . .”
“A Price whose character . . .”
Should read, “A Prince whose character . . .”
So you DO understand the difference between the war of independence and the civil war.
Good.
