ELI5: What caused America to turn out so vastly different from other modern day British colonies?

Everything from accents to city planning is radically different from England and it's colonies, despite having the same cultural nucleus. What happened?

For one thing, the American revolution happened relatively early on in the history of the British Empire, so American culture has had more time to diverge from British culture.

Where as Canada had continued British influence, even to the present day to some extent. Other colonies such as Australia and New Zealand didn't even exist at the time of the American revolution.

I assume you are only really talking about places which were settled by large numbers of British people. India is a former British colony, but obviously very different as the vast majority of the population are natives.
