The British are not much different than those of us in the United States but there are differences and it’s not just the accents. British culture was once a staple of early colonization of the United States prior to, you know, there being a United States. Over the centuries that have passed American’s have formed their own culture through a melting pot of foreign immigrants and travelers. But long ago there was a time when the upper Eastern United States was a British territory.
