I agree that the US revolution was unusual and in many ways more conservative than other revolutions.
I guess you could think of the US revolution as being a bit like a mutiny that then kept largely the same course as the previous captain anyway.
I feel like this is really underselling what happened, though I guess it might be subjective. Sure, they didn’t try to reinvent government, culture and the economy completely from scratch, but it was still the move from a monarchy to the first modern liberal constitutional republic.
