The U.S wanted to impress Japan with the Great White Fleet Because they wanted to show them and the rest of the world just how powerful the U.S military was

The Great White Fleet was used by Roosevelt to show the growing American military power. The fleet circumnavigated the globe between December 1907 and February 1909.
The Great White Fleet had nothing to do with the American Revolution. The battleships of the US Atlantic Fleet (16 of them) sailed from Hampton Roads (Norfolk), VA on 16 December 1907, returning there on 22 February 1909, after circumnavigating the globe. The American Revolution occurred between 1776 and 1781 (depending on what you consider to be the beginning; and the treaty that actually ended it wasn't signed until 1783).
