His quote by Witherspoon was what I was looking for. <br /> <br />Witherspoon said, following what Tom writes on your post on Amer Creation, that the King basically abdicated:<br /><br />"On the part of America, there was not the most distant thought of subverting the government or of hurting the interest of the people of Great Britain, but of defending their own privileges from unjust encroachment; there was not the least desire of withdrawing their allegiance from the common sovereign [King George III] till it became absolutely necessary – and indeed, it was <b>his</b> own choice."[bold face mine]<br />-John Witherspoon, The Works of John Witherspoon (Edinburgh: J. Ogle, 1815), Vol. IX, p. 250, “The Druid,” Number III.<br /><br />And remember, Witherspoon was the leader of the Presbyterians, who started the movement. <br /><br />Calvin may have been not so clear in his explanation of interposition, but Hall does say he approved self-defense for establishing Catholicism, hence, is the same foundation as our "Civil War" with the King.<br /><br />You should bring in Hall to Amer Creation. He's excellent.Our Founding Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01072993191810565535noreply@blogger.com
