Since I am not personally a believer in the supposed divine right of kings, I do not see any basis for King George III to rule the American colonies against the wishes of the colonists. The colonists were basically in the right. Of course, their moral position was somewhat weakened by their continued practice of slavery, which was not to end until almost a century later. The colonists were no saints, either.
