Here's the foundation, shared with Europe:

Traditionally western values were the four classical virtues of justice, wisdom, courage/fortitude, and moderation, to which were added the Christian virtues of faith, hope, and charity.

The aftermath of the French and American Revolutions brought us:

>Freedom of Association, Conscience, and Expression.

>Security of tenure and property ownership.

>Equality before the law.

>Division of political powers (legislature, executive and judiciary).

And for Americans specifically, add in a crave for exploration, land cultivation or conquest (in the form of Manifest Destiny, and later on the American Dream).

That's my take on it, not sure if it paints a complete picture, but I think it includes the core principles.

I read a couple of novels by that same author (Hermans), but never Nooit meer slapen. If you're interested in Dutch literature check out J.J. Slauerhoff. Not sure if translations exist though.
