    The American war for Independence is a pretty sad example of revolution.

    Think of the average American, how much did their material conditions change? Now compare to the French Revolution, Haitian Revolution, and Bolshevik revolution.

    America by comparison, was just an “under new management”.

      Well the American revelolution was driven more by the rich or at least the mercantile class than the average person.
