About the revolutionary war…?

How revolutionary was the american war for independence? Did it warrant enough change to be called a revolution? I have to write an essay on it and I just dont know what the 3 body paragraphs should be about…? I’m trying to focus mainly on the social aspects…

It is sometimes dismissed as not a “revolution” because it produced no antithetical social or economic institutions. That view of the matter overlooks the fact that it was revolutionary in producing a society that had no legal or historically entrenched aristocracy, nor any monarch. And the PEOPLE managed to mount and maintained a system of government that had not seen its parallel since Athens.

We alone emerged as what Abraham Lincoln, in his penetrating wisdom, labeled, “The last best hope of mankind.” In some ways, before 2001, we had retained that unique and noble status. Today we see it in tatters before the eyes of the world.
