How revolutionary was the American Revolution?

Historians have debated whether the American Revolution was really a revolution. There is a long historiography that covers this topic, but we can potentially rephrase the question completely and see how revolutionary 1776 actually was.

Wiki: Historiography is essentially the history of history or, more precisely, the history of the writing of history. How have historians from different times and places interpreted the causes and character of the Revolution differently?

Perhaps no other subject in American history has been the subject of as many different interpretations as the American Revolution. The following is a summary of the different ways in which historians have interpreted the causes and character of the Revolution. This is a debate as old as the Republic itself.
