Was the American Revolution a rebellion, as it’s often called nowadays?  Were George Washington, Samuel Adams, and Thomas Jefferson just rebels wanting to overthrow the authority of the English Crown in the American colonies?  Or were they re-establishing Godly authority by declaring “these colonies are, and of right, ought to be free and independent states?”  Why is the Declaration of Independence almost never referred to in our courts today?
