You're contradicting yourself. On the one hand you're claiming that bloody revolutions are anathema, and on the other hand you're trumpeting them as your right.

You're misunderstanding the distinctions. A 'Revolution' need not be bloody - the revolution the framers/Lincoln refer to is that people will assert their God-given right of self government - to abstain from the misguided belief that we must be of royal blood to govern. Sadly, even the ancient Israelites chose to be ruled by an earthly king, ignoring their Heavenly one. That's what made the Declaration so important - not just to us but worldwide. An abandonment of earthly kings.

The right to rise up in revolt by force and commit murder is not God-given nor moral. God commands the slave to 'count their own masters worthy of all honour' [I Tim 6:1 KJV].

You don't see any contradiction in your statements?

In other words, the American Revolution was immoral?
