We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.

Charles 1 was executed in 1649. The Revolution was a continuation of what started in Britain 100+ years earlier. Even the constitution was basically just codifying what was won in the previous 100 years in Britain. I guess you could call it radical, but to say the United States emerged from a vacuum is kinda ignorant.
