The American revolution did not pave the way for the abolition of slavery. It specifically sought to protect it as an institution. If we'd stayed a British colony we likely would have seen it banned earlier than it was.
It's pretty easy to see this fact when you consider that most escaped slaves took up arms with the British forces, not the Americans.
