No. My take is that it took some time for America to find it's footing as a country and establish it's own identity, morals and laws. 80 years isn't a long time in the grand scope of things.
This makes no sense.
The U.S never branched too far from the UK in morals/laws. The U.S still practices common law, and a lot of "American"ideals were just reworded versions of british ideas (Liberty, the enlightenment, the whole shebang etc).
