Because the US had (and has!) it's own spelling system

English wasn't standardized before the American revolution so it's not like they abolished the existing standard but they came up with their own when other nations did. Australia and Canada fall somewhere between US and British spelling and don't get me started on NZ. I don't know shit about NZ.
