Peter asserts the American Revolution of 1776 was rebellion against God because its core practical doctrine was that authority comes from the consent of the governed (i.e. the people) and the British government, the King and Parliament, also only get their authority from the people. The most radical thing they did was abolish the biblical inalienable right of the first born son. They obliterated the concept practically out of America where before 1776 it ruled. The European Christian leaders said the sudden removal of primogeniture and entail was extremely dangerous and very destabilizing and could lead to the destruction of family lineages. The famous Orestes Brownson's son, Henry, at a speech at the University of Notre Dame in 1897 declared getting rid of primogeniture beginning in 1776 did in fact cause almost all families in America to be erased after the death the father. Now America is ruled by the rich he said and the ruling passion Americans now have is the love of money, which is the root of all evil.
Peter compares the deist Benjamin Franklin with his Christian son William, governor of New Jersey. William said the insurrection of 1776 was rebellion against God and the King and therefore he would not join his father. So Benjamin personally helped make sure his son was put in a dungeon in solitary confinement. William suffered greatly for his Christian convictions. Time is revealing who was right. Benjamin or son William?
