If we're going by this logic then america is older than the majority of european countries but that would make their poor feefees hurt.
It is. A lot of European states are quite young in comparison to the United States. I think many would take exception at being considered the same or directly responsible for some previous form of state, but accept some portion of their culture or heritage.
Americans just don't have the luxury of overthrowing a monarchy or fundamentally changing form of state since 1776. Our state is still pre-Napoleanic. France has had like what, five republics and constitutions?
