Why was it OK for the early Americans to rebel against the king of England?
I agree with jetrx_101 about the Declaration of Independence. From the position that the colonists were in it was morally acceptable to rebel because the tyranny that they were subjected to was unjust. pilot, the early Americans were British subjects because the colonies were set up by England and the people living there moved over from England. Christopher Columbus only discovered the Carribean Islands, Leif Eriksson discovered mainland North America. And the other European nations had their own colonies set up in other parts of North America: Spain in Mexico and Central America, France in the Mid-West and Canada.
