The other half of the founding fathers who wanted to just do feudalism started a civil war then lost isn't a culture, I'm sorry its just not if your culture dosent have a unified language, geography, religious/cultural and maybe the bare minimum is like 1000 years I don't want to hear about it.
But you know what I'm not even gonna go their as their are problems in defining culture like I just did.. the south dosent have a united BBQ culture let alone a full blown culture so get the fuck out of here. 
I always found the states early goverment, you have the liberal striver types but think the French went to far but then you got straight up Roman style slaver who treat their slaves worse then the romans. In my heart of hearts ๐ I believe the American revolution is what happens then a revolution is entirely made up of opportunistic elements, I dont even think they belive it was gonna last as long as it does.
