One is that a revolution is a fundemental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relativley short time. Also, it was a revoloution because the American Revolution started in the year 1775 and ended in the year 1783. One of the situations in the American Revolution was the Battle at Bunker Hill. The Battle at Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775. The Battle at Bunker Hill was fought in Charlestown, Massachusetts but it was also fought at Breed's Hill.
