That is rich. First of all, the people rising up to take control is not what happened during the American revolution. What happened was a bunch of rich businesses owners using propaganda and terrorism to create a campaign of violence that lead to them taking control of the colonies.

Second, the great depression in the US lasted a decade. Many people starved to death and the average family income plummeted by 40%. Guess what, no revolution. Enlistment records show that even by WWII 50% of American males were turned away for malnourishment.
