The American revolution was a paradoxical event in that it was a conservative affair that had radical implications. What is meant by this statement?

But at the same time, the ideology of the American revolution surely did have radical implications centered on the goal of maximizing individual freedom. Do you agree or disagree with the thrust of the first sentence in this question? In the course of your easy, examine the sweep of American history from the middle of the 18th century to the middle of the 19th century. Along the way, refer to by quoting from a minimum of three separate essays in Hollitz. In addition, quote from a total of four documents/sources in the Hollitz book.
