Our 'Founding Fathers' may not have done that which was the perfect will of God. Check this out: "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." (Proverbs 29:2)

It says 'the people mourn', it does not say 'the people rebel'.

BTW, you are welcome to come on down, anytime, brother! My husband (dh) and I made the trek from New England to the Carolinas twenty years ago. I don't want to go back nor do I believe we made a mistake.

And I'm a Buckeye by birth, too.
