[quote=@Dinh AaronMk] tfw we have Renn Faires en masse and rip off European history for the purpose of commercially enriching the American experience that is flat bread. Yet you're proposing we can't continue to appropriate European history and pretend it's not American. :c [/quote] Because in the 16th century European-American history was pretty bleak. By the 18th century we have stuff to do, so we don't need to borrow from Europe anymore.
