Many of the objectives of both revolutions were similar: freedom, equality, the end of tyranny, the rule of law, etc. Moreover, they both desired a republican, democratic government. This is because the citizens of both countries shared many grievances. The people of both countries desired more participation in politics.
However, the United States was fighting against a different country (England), while France engaged in a civil war. This led to deeper divisions within French society. Moreover, before the revolution, the United States already had a more egalitarian system. French social classes, on the other hand, were extremely rigid. Therefore, long-lasting change was more difficult to achieve.
The United States was successful in remaining democratic and republican, while France struggled with various regime changes. The post-war period was relatively peaceful in America, while it was extremely bloody and violent in France.
