It worries me that they were told it was a legal problem and ignored the government which violates Romans 13.

Yeah, I guess according to you, the colonists should have submitted to religious tyranny too, and not fought the American Revolution, to adhere to Romans 13?

What do you have to say about this scripture?

Acts 5:

27Having brought the apostles, they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. 28“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”

29Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than men!

violates Romans 13.

Kind of like how Peter violated Romans 13 in Acts 5:29?

That's very debatable. The government is trying to stop them from serving their God in the way they felt they were called to do. I recall a few apostles who were told by the governmen to stop causing a ruckus with their preaching, but they wouldn't.
