Washington signed an oath to the Crown when he became a colonial officer. Was he also without honor when he broke that oath?

And he would have died as a traitor if the Crown had won.

By the time of the Revolutionary war, he was out of direct service to the Crown, and was already seen as a member of the Rebels.

And truth be told, that argument has been discussed around my table with my children several times, concerning the whole war. Specifically, was rebellion a correct action for Christians when under the authority of the Crown.
