Except it was illegal to be part of or associate with the continental congress. A law placed by Briitain.

That's why it was a REBELLION. Cause their explicit goal was to overthrow those foreigners. You're just desperately trying to keep up while you come up with random nonsense. Please come at me with a legitimate argument.

Ok. You say we already had a government in place? That's right we did. That government was in place because of the government in Britain was to far away and had to much of a disconnect to us to make decisions. The people in that government still answered to Britain.

Up to the war with the French the British government was lenient about the rules they had in place. After losing lots of money from the war they put in much more strict rules to make up for the loss of money. Then came the REVOLUTION!

Which I already pointed out. The top (the British) were removed, but middle management (the state legislatures) was pretty much the same people before, during, and after the rebellion, and they were governing by much the same political beliefs.

So we agree that it was a revolution!

No. Your argument boils down to, it wasn't a revolution since the guys in charge of the local branch were forcing out the CEO for change in the company. It's still a revolution.

More like the company remained the same and managed to fight off a hostile takeover. Not a revolution.

Except America had British rule already.

OMFG you can't understand basic logic and insist on holding onto points that I've addressed like fifty times already as if you've never told them before. You're Ki.

Is it a revolution when a president gets elected? No, because the change in power occurred within the bounds of the law. Is it a revolution when a country invades and conquers another country? No, because it was not an internal change in government. Is it a revolution if there is a violent power struggle between nobles in a monarchy during a power vacuum? No, cause the form of government will largely remain unchanged. The form of governmental change determines how it is defined.
