Revolution (and revolutionaries) can be either conservative or liberal, I suppose. Reactionary revolutions are as common as liberal. Iran is a case in point. Is the French Reign of Terror liberal or conservative?

Our "founding fathers" did not want to be taxed. The only democracy they wanted was of the ruling class variety. They ran the country and wanted to continue to do so but without paying taxes and expected the govenment to protect their property: land, slaves and whatever else they owned.

Those who were of the female persuasion and those who did not own property were inelgible to vote. I wouldn't characterise that as liberal nor even revolutionary. Myths make for great storytelling.
