Bible Note: Montag, I think it is important to recognize that the Revolution folowed only upon a failure of King Georg to respond to the colonial demands for redress of greievances and that were requested by elected colonial asemblies who then voted to rebell only when other means of seeking justice were unsuccessful. This was not a mob action but a revolution undertaken by legitimate local governments representing the people. Emmaus |
