Each colonies became state of USA, on the other hand, they were more like 13 different independent countries. 13 states didn't like strong central government, because whole point of wars between England and colonies were freedom from strong central government. This is reason why 50 colonies in USA have state government and central government. England's way of using colonies helped colonies to form new kind of government and lead the independence.
