Michael makes a good point. The American Revolution succeeding because the revolutionaries understood only through brute force would they achieve their goal. If they stuck to writing unpleasant letters and creating British third parties then talk of ‘republicanism’ would mean the same thing as it does in Australia.
Gil:
The “Revolution” succeeded in-spite of force, not because of it. Mass support here and in England for independence was the result of much needed trade. A separation would have come about without war. The use of war resulted in the raising of a standing army which turned against the people to put down a tax rebellion(whiskey tax). The “American counter-Revoluntion” was successful without violence when the “Articles…” were replaced by the Constitution.
