Every week, Promethean Action holds a Saturday Class — a deep dive into the ideas, history, and strategic thinking that the mainstream won't touch.

We'd love for you to join us live. Sign up here and we'll send you class details every week.

The American Revolution was not a tax revolt. It was a Christian revolution — and Britain's number-one enemy wasn't an army. It was a network of preachers.

Almost everyone can recite the words: we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights — among these life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Far fewer have read the long list of charges against King George III that follows. And fewer still have noticed what's missing from it.

"A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."
— The Declaration of Independence

In that entire indictment, taxes are mentioned exactly once.

This was not a populist tax revolt over tea and stamps. It was a war over a single question: do your rights come from God, or from a king?

In this week's Saturday Class — an America 250 address — Bob Ingraham tells the untold story of the men who answered that question with their lives.

Who were the "Black Regiment"?

The name has nothing to do with skin color or race. It was coined by the rulers of the British Empire — the monarchy, Lord North, and others — for the black clerical robes worn by the Christian ministers of the colonies.

These men preached a single, dangerous idea: that every human being is made in the image of God, and that our rights flow from God — not from any earthly throne, court, or parliament.

London understood the threat exactly. It marked the preachers as enemy number one.
