America uses Roman imagery and names a lot of their stuff after Roman deities.

Their mottos are in Latin

Projects and other stuff is named after them.
Project mercury
Apollo missions
Titan missiles
Saturn rockets
Atlas missiles

They have a giant Roman goddess statue.
the statue of liberty who is based on Libertas.

On their medal of honor is Minerva

In their supreme courthouse is a giant statue of justice. Roman goddess Justitia

And the fasces is one of their symbols.

my question is why did America heavily base their image after Rome when other countries especially the other new world countries just went off their original settlers cultures

The Anglo countries are all based off Britain

Same for the Spanish and Portuguese and their respective countries they founded.

Because Romans are cool

Cause Rome is THE Republic and a fair bunch of European imaginery already cames from them.

Europeans love taking influence from the Romans

The US didn't want to be so thoroughly separate from Europe that there was no relation. They were still Christian white folks. US history books always seem to make the cultural shifts they endured seem larger than they were. While there was some faggot running around making his American encyclopedia with made-up words, most Americans were fine being British in everything but name.

Europe is a civilization with a Christian foundation

America is a civilization based on Free Masonry

That's why the EU flag has 12 stars and the US flag has 13 stripes

The same reason Hitler did the same.

>>1308127

Because in order to forge a new national identity they used Roman imagery because >muh republic and >muh enlightenment values. The loyal colonies continued with the British symbolism, imagery and nomenclature. If America had remained within the empire, federal and state/provincial flags and symbols would resemble those you find in Canada and Straya

>Age of pisces
>12th house
>the fish is the symbol of Christ
>Europe becomes the wealthiest place on earth
then
>Age of aquarius
>13th house
>US becomes the wealthiest part of the world
>13 arrows in great seal
>13 feathers on the eagle
>13 stripes on the flag

DC is to the US what Rome is to Europe

Freemasonry pulls a lot of symbols from Rome and was integral to the founding of our nation. Any disputing this fact needs to hang up their fedora and do their research
