The Radicalism of the American Revolution by Gordon S. Wood explores a revolution that took colonists from a monarchical society to a democracy. Republicanism causes chaos to the social structure, but the Jacksonian Revolution soon controls this. Wood points out that the revolutionary leaders did not envision this type of Democratic society, and the views and opinions of society seem to change with each passing generation.
