Say the ideals, the Founding Fathers, etc.

    The American Revolution had a lower impact on the modern era than the Civil War did.

    It’s not really possible to gauge the impact of the Revolutionary War because it got overshadowed by the Civil War.

      I think it’s very difficult to look at the two in isolation; the fault lines that led to the Civil War are a result of the compromises made following the Revolutionary War. The many decades between the two could almost be boiled down to “kicking the can down the road.”
