Which I already pointed out. The top (the British) were removed, but middle management (the state legislatures) was pretty much the same people before, during, and after the rebellion, and they were governing by much the same political beliefs.

Up to the war with the French the British government was lenient about the rules they had in place. After losing lots of money from the war they put in much more strict rules to make up for the loss of money. Then came the REVOLUTION!
Yes, I also took history classes in school.
