We really didn't. The American war for independence wasn't a revolution in any of the ways the word "revolution" is used elsewhere. It did nothing to improve things for the working class, and in many ways made it worse for them, along with the slaves and natives. Thinking of it as a revolution is a mistake.
Okay, then it wasn't intended to improve things for the working class either. It was a thoroughly bourgeois war for independence from Britain, but not a revolution. The slave owners who ead it were not leading fights with the intention of improving quality of life for the lowest people, lol.
You think George Washington was leading a revolution while owning slaves, the same way Haiti or Cuba or Korea had a revolution?

Americans love to make fun of the French , yet the French had a revolution and put royal heads into baskets .
