    The trial and execution of King Charles I was 100 years before the revolution.

      You should think about reading the Declaration of Independence sometime:

      The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

      He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

        You know your quote doesn’t prove the point your trying to make right?

        And it’s very well established that the revolution was primarily about taxes.
