Our revolution was a horse of a different. The Brits called it a revolution because their colonists wanted out from under. For us it was, in fact, a war of liberation to reject the Monarchy and be free. American farmers were not fighting American urban dwellers or merchants in any sort of class struggle.

As was the Texas revolution, except it was a war to be free of the upstart Emperor after he nullified the Mexican constitution.
