I'm going to answer the first question, since the other is opinion and propaganda based.

Why was one seen as good and the other not? Well, a matter of perspective. In the American Revolution, it was seen as fight for freedom of oppression by a ruling country. However, the French Revolution was a fight for freedom from oppression by the ruling classes. Same basic idea. The execution of the idea (excuse the pun) was the difference between the two.

The major difference is that a large amount of the killing done in the American Revolution was considered "clean" and "honorable"- most deaths were from legitimate battle.

A large number of deaths in the French Revolution wrre not considered clean deaths and not exactly honorable. n A large number of the ruling class were not just stripped of land and property, but whole families were executed just because of the state they happened to be born into. Men it is understandable, since they controlled all, but at that time, women had no political or financial powerr, and children? Well, they had the poor lucjk to be born into nobility.

The American Revolution, for the most part, did not have it's members succumbing to greed. Sure, there are always war profiteers and it had it's share. However, in the Frech Revolution, the ideals it was started upon were often lost as the goods and ealth were grabbed by the greedy, who started acting as badly or even worse than those they dispossessed of lands, property and even life.

I can go on, but you get the general idea.
