America has always been a country of many cultures and many nations, right from its birth, no matter what you do, no matter where you go, being an american means having influence from every culture of the world. The English language itself was not born in America, the western culture was not born in America, even the founding fathers made it clear they were adopting the values of a democratic republic, republics started in the Roman Empire and Democracy was born in Greece. Yes America has made its own identity its true, this nation has always been a mix of international influences though, adopting the best from all peoples and cultures of all the world. That is what makes America great.
