Um.. learn your history. Legally King George was in the WRONG. The Revolution was sparked when he increased taxes in the colonies, which was ILLEGAL, because it had to pass through the British Parliment. The Parliment had not approved it... that's why they had the Boston Tea Party. They threw all the Tea into the harbour because they did not want to pay for the new Tax by King George. It was a matter that not all citizens under King George were being treated equally.
The law in England was that NO NEW TAXES could be raised without the approval of Parliment. That law was the reason for the English Civil War & the US Revolution was really just part two of that Civil War leadign to the creation of a new nation.
