I agree with you on that point. The challenge of royalty/aristocracy was a very similar. In fact, much of intellectual and aristocratic France was enthralled with the idea of our revolution. Ben Frankling was somewhat of a rock star in Paris a decade earlier.

Some of the speakers on the show made collegiate type of comments such as (paraphrase) "In revolutions you need to kill the king" or "Revolutions need blood". Although America's revolution did spill blood, we did not feel we had to kill King George III. History shows that the less bloddy the revolution, the easier the transition.

Although I wonder what would have happened if the King was in proximity to us? If the British had won the Founding Fathers would have been hanged for sure.
