King George III dismissively referred to it as the “Presbyterian Rebellion.”
IIRC, preachers and ministers who served as chaplains in the Continental Army so inspired the soldiery through their sermons to fight for the Revolution as an instrument of God’s will, that the British called them “the black robed brigade” and threatened to execute any man of the cloth captured while serving in an American regiment.
That's what happens when you give the Presbyterians too much beer. Never would have happened if they were Baptists. :O)
