Ahhh gotcha, thank you
the US is particularly calcified and host to one of the oldest bourgeois governments in the world, the initial revolution was not the prototypical type from europe, it was more defined by its status as a settler colony (to a semi-feudal nation) than a society that had a nobility to be usurped. pretty easy to get the notion that the US still 'needs' to go through the liberal stage properly. read "Uncommon Dominion" by Sally Mckee to receive a more complete definition and distinction of settler independence revolts from classic revolution, i also hear "The Counterrevolution of 1776" by Gerald Horne dwells on these questions particularly to the US but i've not read it
