I don't think that it happened that way really. Americans didn't wake up one day and think... "hey, let's create a whole new division of literature for ourselves. Whoo-hoo!" It was more like people were writing, wherever they lived, and people were reading it... it wasn't until someone decided to teach classes about it, or market it, that it needed to be distinguished as "American" or "British" literature. As for why it was the 1820s... think that is an arbitrary date, but you couldn't really have American Literature before there was an independent group over here. I think 1820 is too late, because there are definitely American documents from before that... but again, it is just an arbitrary division that someone probably made to make it easier to teach an American Lit class.
