Original Note:
Please note that 1776 was not an insurrection. The American colonists were seeking to end British control over the colonies. They wanted independence. They were not seeking to overthrow or end the British Empire. An insurrection seeks to overthrow their own government. https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/empire_seapower/american_revolution_01.shtml
