Ruger ... First off, Ol' Ben isn't the only one that didn't want a revolution. Just about everyone of the Founding fathers really wanted to remain part of the British Empire. It was the fact that the Crown (and Parliment) had become tyrannical that they came to the realization that they were slowly being enslaved. Over taxing, Passing gun control legislation, requiring papers to leave or enter certain cities, etc... they were very much like we are today. They wanted to get government out of their lives. They didn't really want to create a new country, but in order to maintain their liberty and freedoms, they had no other course.
They had petitioned the Crown and Parliment on many occasions for relief from the abuses being heaped upon them, yet none was offered. Until finally - "When in the course of human events..."

I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! - RKBA!
