George Grant: King George was appalled
at the American Revolution, not because
he saw that there were colonists who
wer e rebelling against the rule of
parliament, but because he saw the
covenantal implications. He called it the
"Presbyterian Parson's Rebellion."
King George saw it as a continuation of
the Scottish rebellion against his father
some twenty years prior in which the
covenanters rose up and established
certain standards against which the king
could not act. The American Revolution
was drawn from covenantal concepts that
held the king in check and required action
for justice when the king stepped beyond
his bounds.
A number of the Founding Fathers were
influenced by Enlightenment ideas
ideas that ultimately came to be known
as Deism or Unitarianism. Many were
free thinkers. Benjamin Franklin and
Thomas Jefferson were examples of
these men. They demonstrated the fruit
of their free thought in their private lives.
But in their public demeanor they were
gloriously inconsistent. Benjamin
Franklin was best known in the
Constitutional Convention for calling for
prayer that divine providence would guide
all the proceedings of that great
assembly. Thomas Jefferson read the
Bible every day, even if he only read
portions of it as he was wont to do.
