Was the Revolution, "revolutionary?"

A revolution is defined as a fundamental change in politcal organization; especially the overthrow or renunciation of one government or ruler and the substitution of another by the governed. By the defination of a revolution and the outcome of the Revolutionary War, my answer would be yes, the war was revolutionary. America wanted seperation from the British Empire and to become an indepentant country of its own without the rule of the Parliment. America's view's were different of those established by Britian and American colonists lead and marched in many protests and boycotts. The cause was to create independence for America, govern themselves and to have a direct say in what they were governed. By this victory, the thirteen colonies distingusihed themselves and the United State of America. They also wrote a Declaration of Indenpendence which defined their rule over their mother country. With this defeat, I feel that the Revolutionary War was definatley a revolution for this country and it people then and now.
