I doubt the British thought they were fighting a full-blown insurrection after Lexington and Concord; July 4th (or 2nd if you want to get persnickety), 1776 was a different kettle of fish. The Declaration of Independence was a declaration of war (or insurrection, if you want to get persnickety). It said "okay George, gloves are off. We are an independent, sovereign nation in full revolt and we're tired of your shit!"
My parents were middle class democrats (until 1980) who couldn't afford a fancy YouTube psychology degree like you have, so instead of a diagnosis, I will just say that YOUR rants about "MAGAts and idiots" tell me that you are probably just a cantankerous old fart who is not much fun to be around, much like every communist, nazi and leftist I have ever met ... and yeah, I'm in a constant state of low level pain since the shin splints in boot camp, 49 years ago (I'm on a 40% VA disability).
Nope, 60s, healthy as a Clydesdale, don't drink or smoke, still ride a motorcycle and do some light off-roading, hunt, fish, swim and yes, I definitely see the end coming for me and as a Christian I embrace that and long for it.
