With what I know today?
No.
It would've been rebellion.
Given the religious fervor of the time, doubly, no. It's never condoned in Holy Writ and makes a sharp indictment against rebellion generally; which makes one wonder about the Presbyterian push in the colonies at the time against the crown.
Such institutions are to remain apolitical unless blatant laws or actions against belief and the higher law are infringed. It is no doubt an internal struggle that affected many in 1775 as it did in 1860 - 1865 with " brother against brother. "
Ben Franklin's own son went to England and stayed there because he felt it disloyalty to rebel against the crown.

Absolutely. There's no way in the world that I'd stand idly by and let my fellow colonists be mistreated the way they were. Freedom and liberty are the only two things in life truly worth fighting for.
As Ben Franklin said, "He who would trade liberty for security deserves neither."

Hell I'm a revolutionary today.

Highly unlikely. I probably would have been a house slave or a ladies maid/helper.
