A thing unusual about our Revolution is that it was led by fairly wealthy, educated folks. A lot of revolutions are started by idealogues, folks dedicated to something, perhaps fairly well educated but generally not the upper crust. And of course racial and nationality factors can play into the cause.
Our FFs were British and of course white, though a fair number of black men served in the armies. I don't know of another somewhat similar revolution in history. Some of the leaders in the French revolution were educated of course.
Napoleon who came to power much later in that situation was not even French. He was educated, and caught some breaks.
I find the debates leading up to our Constitution to be fascinating, and of course we really were not a country per se until 1787. The first attempt was a pretty clear failure. The second had issues.
