How Radical was the American Revolution?

Radical (definition) - advocating extreme measures to retain or restore a political state of affairs.

The American Revolution was extremely radical, it had to be. First of all, the colonists were taking a huge risk, going against the most powerful country at that time, England. Second, the reason they seperated was for change. Change in religion, power, economy, and most of all as a nation. They went through extreme measures to ensure their freedom and natural rights. Men lost their lives to protect their nation and break free from England. So in my opinion; Yes, the American Revolution was very radical. RADICAL DUDE!
