Religious motivation for fighting tyranny transcended socioeconomic lines to encompass rich and poor men and women frontiersmen and townsmen farmers and merchants the Declaration of Independence also referred to the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" as justification for the Americans' separation from the British monarchy Most eighteenth-century Americans believed that the entire universe ("nature") was God's creation and he was "Nature's God" Everything was part of the "universal order of things" which began with God and was directed by his providence.
