Was the american revolutionart war a war of freedom or a war of treason?

The perception of the war depends on one's perspective. If you were a supporter of the revolutionary cause, you considered the American Revolution a revolutionary cause. The Declaration of Independence presents a justification for revolution based on natural rights. If you were a Loyalist, an individual who believed in the British cause and felt that the colonists should remain loyal to the British empire, you would have considered the revolution a war of treason.
