The Second Wave of Revolutionary Civil War

The Haitian Revolution radicalized as emancipation went from unthinkable to fact of life, but this just occurred inside a five-sided messy conflict. The American Revolution had radicals and moderates, but it's not like John Adams ever staged an armed coup to win the debate over independence. There are also times when such a second wave either does not materialize at all or to the extent that the revolution is radicalized, doesn't necessarily follow from the concerted action of any radical group.
