Justification of Rebellion in Relation to the American Revolution

Actions of people who oppose lawful measures that they deem harmful or illegal are justifiable through ethics and the perspectives they take, yet may not cause successful results. The mob against something may be right, but as long as the lawful measure is prolonged, then it will always be viewed as the accepted standard. This is applicable to the American Revolution because, although the colonists wanted independence and lacked British recognition, rebellion was not fully accepted, such as the case with the loyalists and patriots. Although the rebellion caused harm and casualties to people, the American Revolution was a success and was justified through the majority of feelings of the colonists and should not be considered a crime; the British seemed to treat the Americans as assets to the economy of the crown rather than granting their wishes, leading to their demise.
