Did the signers of the declaration of independence commit treason against England and King George? I'm sure the english considered it treason, but the founders considered it founding a new nation. What you call it depends on where you sit and whether you win or lose.
I'm sure the english called it treason but they didn't think it. Simply leaving a country is not treason.
Wait, so your argument is to tell us what the English *thought*, with your alternative narration being explicitly contradicted by what the English *said*?
That's silly. You're merely ignoring the English response to the Declaration of Independence and inserting whatever you make up in its place. Not only did the English consider the Declaration of Independence to be Treason, they sent armies to the colony to put the rebellion down.
and they lost, so it wasn't treason, it was the founding of a new country.
