... or simply an Independence movement?

A revolution is usually taken to mean a complete change in the system of government; from a monarchy to a republic, as in the French example, or from one sort of monarchy (absolute) to another (constitutional) as in England. By this criterion, it was a revolution. George III was King of the American colonies, and they kicked him out and set up a republic.

Probably, on balance and in hindsight, a mistake, but there you go, they will do these things.
