Revolution was not "<strong>revolution</strong>ary" at all, that it did not<br />
radically trans<strong>for</strong>m colonial society, but simply replaced a<br />
distant government with a local one. The more recent view<br />
pioneered by historians such as Bernard Bailyn, Gor<strong>do</strong>n Wood<br />
and Edmund Morgan is that <strong>the</strong> American Revolution was a<br />
unique and radical event, based on a new ideology of<br />
"republicanism" which produced deep changes that had a<br />
profound impact on world history<br />
The American Revolution was <strong>the</strong> first wave of <strong>the</strong> Atlantic<br />
Revolutions that would also take hold in <strong>the</strong> French<br />
Revolution, <strong>the</strong> Haitian Revolution, and <strong>the</strong> Latin American<br />
wars of liberation. Aftershocks would also be felt in Ireland in<br />
<strong>the</strong> 1798 rising, in <strong>the</strong> Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and<br />

many European radicals who would later take on active roles<br />
during <strong>the</strong> era of <strong>the</strong> French Revolution. Jefferson's<br />
Declaration had an immediate impact on <strong>the</strong> French<br />
Declaration of <strong>the</strong> Rights of Man and <strong>the</strong> Citizen of 1789.<br />
The American Revolution affected <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> world. The<br />
thinkers of <strong>the</strong> Enlightenment only wrote that common people<br />
had <strong>the</strong> right to overthrow unjust governments. The American<br />
Revolution was a case of practical success, which provided <strong>the</strong><br />
rest of <strong>the</strong> world with a 'working model'.<br />
The American Revolution set an example to <strong>the</strong> people in<br />
Europe and o<strong>the</strong>r parts of <strong>the</strong> world. It encouraged <strong>the</strong> people<br />
to realize <strong>the</strong>y had rights independent of <strong>the</strong> sovereign; it<br />
promoted republicanism to overthrow monarchs. It incited<br />
people to fight <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir rights, and it showed <strong>the</strong>m that it was<br />
