What is so revolutionary about the American Revolution War?

The definition of revolution is to throw over a current government and replace it with a new one. A revolution is usally ignited if the governed feel a lack of freedom or a violation of their human rights. In the American revolution though, economics, I think, was the biggest factor.

That is why the American Revolution was ignited. Otherwise, if England would not have been so focused on making the best profit themselves (the idea mercantalism plays a major role here too), the colonists would have been happy and satisfied with the way it was.
