**The American Revolution is one of the most iconic events in history. It is seen as a symbol of freedom and democracy, and it is often taught in schools as a story of brave colonists fighting for their independence from a tyrannical British government.**

**But what if the American Revolution wasn't actually a revolution at all?**

In his new book, The Revolution That Wasn't, historian Andrew Roberts argues that the American Revolution was not a radical break with the past but rather a conservative movement to preserve traditional British liberties.

Roberts bases his argument on a close examination of the primary sources from the period. He shows that the colonists were not fighting for independence from Britain, but rather for the right to govern themselves within the British Empire.

Roberts also argues that the American Revolution was not a violent uprising, but rather a peaceful transfer of power. The British government eventually agreed to grant the colonies self-government, and the American Revolutionaries accepted this offer.

The Revolution That Wasn't is a provocative and well-argued book that challenges the conventional wisdom about the American Revolution. Roberts's evidence is convincing, and his s are sure to spark debate.
