Why did no Revolutionary Terror take place after the American Revolution?
It seems to stand out from other Revolutions from the French, Roundheads, Russian, Chinese etc all where Revolutionary terror was implemented too solidify the position of the Revolutionaries.

There was revolutionary terror.
It was just taken out on the Native Americans instead of the Anglo colonists.
Because the US revolted from a "foreign" power. They saw themselves as something other than English and did not contest this with eachother. Considerably, arguably the most important reason, was the lack of an ingrained conservatism or nobility that was present in other major revolutions such as the French or Russian

>I want to please Maximilien
>He roars "Despotism!" while he fills me with his fraternity

>Maximilien Robespierre is life, Maximilien Robespierre is the Revolution
>Next morning, I find my dad decapitated
There was terror against loyalists, they had property confescated, publically shamed and often murdered.
Because the British promised to end slavery, blacks joined loyalist armies in mass, guess what happened too them? Mass slaughter and resold too slavers too pay for debts of the new nation.
Loyalists hundreds of thousands of loyalists fled into native lands or into Canada.
Oh and the natives, who also joined the British ranks under guise of recognition of rights from the crown? Genocide.
The American Revolution is a well oiled propaganda machine, the only reason there definitely was a Terror, it wasn't as organized, but it did occur.

America did not face imminent invasion and a backpedaling noble class that once claimed to be for and was then against the revolution as France did.
It had won an invasion with the help of a stronger and established power and had the Atlantic ocean as its own personal moat. The English channel just doesn't compare.
>>812992
They didn't try to abolish every single monarchies on Earth. Not even Britain.
The Bolsheviks were hugely influenced by the French Revolution too the point they were basically Francophiles and often jusified the Red Terror citing the French Terror and how successful the French Revolution was in suppressing the Aristocracy.
In a way the Red Terror was an extension of the French reign of terror

They just missed out on that part where a strong leader takes control of the country now tired of terror?

The natives weren't genocided.

this
There was plenty of terror against the Loyalists (in direct contravention of the terms of the peace treaty with Britain, incidentally). After the war hundreds of thousands of them were forced to flee, either to Canada or to Britain. And then there were the bloody reprisals against the Native Americans and slaves who had fought for Britain.
Democracy worked so well in the early republic because the Founding Fathers had already purged anyone who disagreed with them.

And actually led into the The Seminole Wars a hundred years later when Slave Owners decided that the large number of Blacks who had fled during the War of Independence encouraged other slaves too flee.
Because the American revolution was just a war of independence

Lack of pressing external threat
Mostly the fact the changes they were implementing weren't particularly radical for the US. They had no grand aristocracy stretching back close to 1500 years and all the tradition that comes with that. There was no massive church and fedual holdings.
So imagine the British Aristocracy were well established on the American Continent.
Do you believe Revolutionary Terror would have played out like the Red/French Terror if those American Revolutionaries had to deal with a landed aristocracy?

Because it created a separate state where the social order remained the same as before the revolution. There was no hostile takeover of the current government.
Because it was a war against a foreign power lead by a political elite that maintained its power throughout the course of the war and had a pretty good idea of what the objectives of the future state were. Its not really comparable to the French or Russian revolutions.

>>812996
the Terror in post rev france and russia was the persecution of people based not on their actions during the conflict but on their social class in the previous society. what happened in america after independence was the winning side liquidating the losing side. what amazes me is this didnt occur post civil war

This. Very little actually changed in the Americas after the revolution. It wasn't until decades later when the ''excesses of democracy'' actually started to make an impact.
>>812992
you can thank washington for that, he was the one that declined being a king when he was offered to become one...
>>813056
Did they dissapear?
>>813365
A lot of the loyalists after the Revolution just fucked off to Canada, there was no need to holocaust them.
>>812992
Because it wasn't actually a revolution. It was just a war of independance.

They were either moved west or married into the white population.

The whoooole point of the American revolution was to find an excuse not to pay taxes.
1. It happened and was small. Remember tar feathering british supporters?
2. It was a republican rebellion, which does well eith the existing middle class
2. Americans are just genetically better than everybody else.

Oh, and another big thing. Since indians werent really people, soldiers and people could be payed with land, and the government handed it alot to minmax gdp.(farming)
>>812992
Will America ever have a workers revolution?

>The Bolsheviks were hugely influenced by the French Revolution
Just stop.
You "traditionalists" are pathetic. The French Revolution positively reformed France and spread the science and philosophy of the Enlightenment to areas that would have otherwise remained unenlightened.
>>812992
because the americans did not seek the perfection of Virtue
>>815351
>Philosophy of the enlightement
That's not a good thing.
