Was the American Revolution really a revolution?

The American Revolution refers to the period of time in which the thirteen colonies gained independence from the British Empire and became the United States of America. To say, for sure, that this was a revolution may be easy or it may be hard. My personal opinion of this event is that this was a revolution and i will tell you why. When people think about the Revolutionary War they think about how they are thankful to be Americans. They think of how brave those men were to stand up and die for their country. But do people really know if it was a revolution? The Revolutionary War was a defining moment in our nation's history. This is because it was really the first moment in our nation's history because that is when the thirteen colonies really became a nation. This war gave us our independence and our freedom from the British Empire. Those brave men that stood up for our country's principles were the difference in this country's history. If those young men decided not to fight then we would probably be speaking in British accents, and we would have to take orders from someone that lives 3,000 miles away from us.
