In at least two well-developed paragraphs (and a paragraph is at least five to seven sentences) discuss:

Was the American Revolution, revolutionary? Meaning, many historians argue that yes a new government was created and amazingly survived. That is astounding and theywere really creating something wholly different than other governments from around the world. However, for many people their lives the day afterthe war did not look anydifferent from their lives before the war. They had the same jobs, the same economic status, politicalbenefits or exclusions. Positions of power did not change for many white men and women and certainly not for American Indians and slaves. With these two different ideas in mind about the Revolution answer the question: was the American Revolution revolutionary or not and be sure to support your answers with primary and secondary sources.
