I didn't say the American Revolution freed the slaves. It would have been nice had it done so. We might have avoided the Civil War. But the eventual outcome, yes it took a while, was freedom.
With regards to Napoleon, don't you think the English, Prussians and Russians played a role in the outcome you cited?
I disagree that freedom is anarchy. You are pinning an absolute definition on it to suit your argument. To suit mine, I am saying you can't have true freedom for all in a society if you allow cultural freedom (a la Saudi Arabia) to trump (no pun intended) an individual's freedom (the women there). Or if you allow people to do whatever they feel like (murder, rape, theft, etc.) at the expense of others.
