The king also found this attractive because if he no longer had to honor the constitutions of the colonies, or listen to their legislatures. He could rule absolutely over the colonies through the British Parliament, where the colonists had no representation.
There were other issues as well. For example, there was much fear that a bishop would be appointed over the colonies, and Americans were horrified by the morality of people in Britain, particularly the leadership, which was particularly liberal. One royal governor, Edward Hyde, Viscount Cornbury, was a cross-dresser known for his corruption and liberal spending of others money. Sexual deviancy and outright disregard for traditional values and the constitution infuriated Americans. Parliament and the king laughed at the idea of following the constitution. Infidelity and lax morals were celebrated in England. The influential belonged to secret societies like The Hellfire Club, which practice rituals, and held orgies. These are related to the recent scandals in Britain today having to do with secret rings. Most Americans are clueless on this point, though at least some have heard about Bill Clinton's visits to the pedophile island with these groups.
The American Revolution was a conservative defense of traditional law, and values. The Americans resisted an illegal foreign invasion, beginning in 1775, then declared independence from a king who had proven himself in every way a tyrant and guilty of treason in 1776. The king was the one in rebellion, and the Americans defended themselves.
Excerpts form the Declaration of Independence.
“The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. “
“He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.”
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”
“He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:…
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:…
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.”
“Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.”
