When I think of other revolutions (French) and knowing who was behind them, and knowing one of the American founders (Thomas Paine) was inspired by the French Revolution, was our own American Revolution 'legit' or was it actually for some other purpose or intention, one not so virtuous as many of us think?

Was it needlessly rebellious, was there another way to deal with it? I do know most of the revolutionaries were young and impressionable. Even the Alamo (our pride and joy in Texas) was said to be run by a bunch of young 'hotheads.'

Been trying to figure this out, somewhat, for a while now.

It would have been a mirror of the French Revolution if it wasn't for the Christian men who actually fought the war and who would not have tolerated a new system of tyranny that openly and quickly thereafter. In parallel to Christian men fighting to secure their God-given rights, it was also a gigantic masonic / kabbalistic ritual. When asked what form of government we now had, Franklin, a member of those rosicrucian-esque kabals said, "A republic, if you can keep it." I believe that statement was a threat.

Or, like the other commenter said, it was all a true psyop and we're just as owned by the Bank of England now as we were then.

French Revolution = controlled power vacuum.

That sounds plausible.

I should remember that nothing is so simple and easy to categorize and label as we'd like it to be.

For example, your statement about Christians who fought and would not have tolerated the tyranny.
