Was the American Revolution contrary to scripture?

[Darto]

The Bible clearly states we must obey those that have the authority over us.

Clearly the King and his Parliament had authority over his British subjects residing among the voting constituencies in England. But not over those peoples who say lived in France.

The war was about whether the King of England had legitimate authority over peoples in the new world colonies who weren't even represented in Parliament at all.

[CPRAFAN]

Some people say that if there had been no American Revolution, England would have abolished slavery in the colonies without the Civil War. Offhand, didn't England abolish slavery in the other English colonies around 1817?
