While that may be your opinion, such an attempt against the government would result in the conspirators being sent to the brig for a long time or executed.

I suspect the fates of those who conducted the operation would depend on how intolerable condition had become here during the run-up to the event wouldn’t it?

Here’s a quote on the subject from a BLACK AMERICAN from around 150 years ago that you’ve probably never read.

(Notice that he said DEMAND, not REQUEST!)

“Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate
agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.
They want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the
ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical
one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a
struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never
did, and it never will. Find out just what a people will submit
to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and
wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue
until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those
whom they oppress.” Frederick Douglass August 4, 1857

Douglass was talking about SLAVERY.

SO
ARE
WE!!
