Justifiable.

The rebellions of the colonists against the lawfull measures of its home country were justifiable because in the eyes of the collonists, England was in pursuit of control of a people that only wanted to be left alone. One can not always trust the ruling power to make honest decisions in the best interest of those goverened. Although English parliament had its reasons for passing certain restrictions on the colonies such as the Proclamation of 1763 and the Navigational laws, colonists were overshadowed by their sufferings to really recognize any moral basis for Englands actions. In debted by the ever so vigorously enforced mercantilist policies, the colonists were tired of following orders from a country that really no longer had any standing in their minds because of distance and extensive change, such as a large difference in social standing. England had become aggressive because the colonies were no longer following orders. The fact that the colonies were established to reap profits for its mother country, and that they had just fought a war for their behalf, justified any actions by parliament, whether or not the colonists themselves had a say. However, the colonists had never asked for the war to be fought. Although it probably saved them a lot of trouble, there was also the fact that England restricted them to trade only with them, in which case merchants couldnt find the most profitable exchanges. Colonial rebellion was justifiable because they fought for independence from a country that hadnt established them in the first place. They had left to start a new life, and England was attempting to suck anything and everything good from its "tenants".
