Were the English colonies justified in leading a revolution against Great Britain, their mother country?

For my sophomore history class, I need to come up with an argument that the English colonies were not justified in leading a revolution against Great Britain. I think I got stuck with the harder stance to argue for. There will be a debate in October, and I need to have a convincing argument in order to do well. All imput will be greatly appreciated.

there were a lot of publications out during the times leading up to the revolution or rebellion or whatever you want to call it. other colonies were treated the same as those in North America, yet did not rebel.

the problem is, since that stuff was on the losing side, none of it is really famous. the thing to remember is that Sam Adams was a blowhard, who published a lot of lies. a lot of the stuff from the “winners” was a lot of lies and half-truths, intended to incite the less educated

if you can find them, there were books (don nardo, 1998) and (william dudley, 1992) that gave opposing views
