But the idea itself only arose with the fomenters of the Rebellion itself, the colonists who banded together did not think of what they were doing as resulting in anything like that when they rebelled.
It was the likes of Jefferson, whose radical ideas were not taken at face value by various sectarian militants, who held such multivalently sectionally heretical notions in 1776.
The overwhelming majority of colonists did not.
The negroes were left out of account in the calculus altogether except, as argued back and forth, now, in The 1619 Project and elsewhere, as property pawns motivating rebellion.

SECULAR SCHISM NOW MIMICS COLONIAL SCHISM
Denominations were not equal.
Congregationalists predominated the colonial population. Their religious discourses swamped secular pamphlets 4 to 1, and outnumbered other denominations' religious ones.
For local New England audiences, their message was couched totally in covenantal terms.
For other colonies, to which their exhortations were massively exported, they used the secular vernacular of rights and property which all colonies shared.
The Rebellion was couched in secular terms because diversity of sects required a common denominator, and a rhetoric that would disguise the ulterior motive's of the rebellion's New England leaders. Clark, The Language of Liberty, p.44

GABOR AND TIMEA END UP REITERATING THE VIRTUES OF SECULAR ENLIGHTENMENT DEMOCRACY A FAILED IDEOLOGY
The Whig interpretation of the Anglo British Civil War became one in which the colonists had all been fighting for enlightened contractarian democracy all along.
These were the actual results for colonial civil war American rebels themselves:
Episcopalians had sought to perpetuate the social order of which they were part...but they inherited a society in which the Anglican model had been wholly effaced....
Presbyterians and Congregationalists, the most numerous in 1776, by 1800 Baptists and Methodists had outstripped them all.
Deists like Franklin and Jefferson looked forward to a Deistic republic, but by 1800 Deism had been swamped by a massive evangelical revival.
New England Calvinist Congregationalism was submerged by the cancerous growth of Unitarianism.
I would just add that the Rebellion found its strongest support south of New England in the deist (atheist) radical jacobin planter gentry, best typified and spearheaded by Jefferson.
In the rhetoric of New England, and his, it miraculously became a secular equalitarian contractarian slave rebellion against taxation without representation and enlightened slave revolt against a quasi Oriental Popish Protestant despot Monarch, George III, his ministry and parliament.
No more false or ridiculous a set of arguments can possibly be imagined, except by clever common lawyers.

WIKIPEDIA PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY GORDON RIOTS
This explains just a little of the background to the American Rebellion of 1776.
The Anglo-Irish Ascendancy excluded from power not only the majority Catholics but also the Scots-Irish Presbyterians and other Protestant dissenters.
Both Jews and Catholics had tended to be both endogamous and globalist, and Catholics thus constituted a threat to any Protestant regime, while Jew, when in numbers and in positions of power, constituted a threat to either or to both.
