"...The citizens of the United States had not joined in the Second World War to prop up a system of imperial domination against which they had been the first people to revolt...." Sir Michael Howard
He frames it as a rebellion, rather than a revolution. That alone is also revealing.
Clark calls it a British civil war.
Civil wars do start as rebellions.
Whatever it was, Howard sees us standing against Europe, after 1776, and with France against the rest of Europe, after 1789.
