Good point.

The American Revolution was based on a people that had Christian foundations. The French revolution was a revolution based upon humanist foundations. The difference in the results, stability and effectiveness of the two are vast.

The American Revolution was a war of independence and fought for freedom. The French was a war against the rich who they thought were the source of all their problems, so they eliminated the rich and royals and discovered that didn’t solve all their problems. It created a vacuum for a charismatic nationalist dictator to run the place and ultimately destroy France even further.
