The U.S never branched too far from the UK in morals/laws. The U.S still practices common law, and a lot of "American"ideals were just reworded versions of british ideas (Liberty, the enlightenment, the whole shebang etc).
Did the UK have city/state/federal government's? Heck, they were still ruled by royalty when we broke off from them. I'd say there was quite of bit of difference eventually, and I'm sure there was much to sort out for a brand new country. It's honestly ignorant to think otherwise.
And like I said, 80 years wasn't a long time in the grand scope of things. Especially for a new country that was still adding states and sorting out many things. Taxation, this new thing called "freedom", a system of government that had major differences, etc etc. Eventually, slavery was handled. It didn't take very long.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
