I think it's called American Exceptionalism. But i do agree that America is not bad, that's probably because they never managed to completely shake off their British roots.(before you downvote me that was a joke). I sometimes wonder if the main consequence of the Rebellion is that they have George Washintons face on their money instead of the Queen.
- gerdesj 5y agoDon't be soft, the USA is way, way more complicated than simply "British roots". All that throwing off the shackles of imperial rule is sort of true but mostly bollocks (that's how you invite a major DV frenzy!) Presumably the portrait of George W that is on the note is from post revolution ie mid 1770s otherwise there is a depiction of a British citizen on rather a lot of greenbacks.

- dragonwriter 5y agoWouldn't that be roughly 1775-1781?
