I would have said that it draws more parallels with Australia's history;
the descendents of convicts in a penal colony fighting for their right to be free, but win or lose, destined to remain in the colony.
the 4th of July and the constitution and/or declaration of independance are symbolic, but the social issues are only remotely linked to America's revolution.
