Former British Prime Minister Churchill once said a famous saying, "Britain and the United States are one nation and two countries." The British often say, "Without the British Mayflower sailing to America, there would be no current United States." The United States was originally one of Britain's 13 colonies. Therefore, Britain and the United States share the same language and relatively consistent cultural traditions. In terms of national origin, at present, the descendants of immigrants from Britain and Ireland in the United States regard themselves as the mainstream of American society. Even many important place names in the United States were copied from the United Kingdom. For example, New York means "New York." When New York was founded, there were many people from Yorkshire, England, so it was named "New York". The ancestors of the Texas Bush family also came from a small fishing village in England, but later became a branch of the British royal family. Vice President Gore's ancestors also came from the United Kingdom and were also a branch of the British royal family. During the U.S. election, a British tabloid predicted that Bush would defeat Gore and be elected President of the United States. The reason is that they are all descendants of the British royal family, but the Bush family is very close to the British royal family. Interestingly, according to British history books, "the shot in the American War of Independence was not fired openly." At that time, Washington's goal was only to ask the British King to reduce stamp duties and strive for more autonomy, not to break away from the United Kingdom. However, "someone's gun went off, and the crowd who were angry at the British king thought that Washington had given the order to insurrection."
The British often say with relish that American hegemony is based on the historical legacy of the British Empire. above. The so-called freedom, democracy, culture, and laws of the United States are basically copies of the British Empire model. When American middle school students study American history in the classroom, many times they are actually learning British history and Shakespeare's sonnets. Without learning these things, they cannot understand American history. Before "The Adventures of Tomshaw" was born, the United States didn't even have its own literature. The famous historian Wilson of Oxford University once said that the relationship between Britain and the United States is not so much that of brothers, but that of Britain and the United States as that of mother and son. The two countries have the same language, basically the same culture and the same ethnic origins.
