It is true that in the end, when you think about it, the United States, they are, it's not is ... America, this is not a country young. Ultimately, it's almost the oldest country in the modern Western world in its democratic, with its incorporation which dates almost 225 years. All the "old" European countries are much more "young" in comparison. I mean, France is made to what, at the 5th Republic, which dates from the late fifties, modern Italy is "born" in the late 19th century and the Republic in 1946. Not to mention Russia, Germany and Poland. I think this is one reason why it is so difficult to make sweeping changes in American society, which sometimes behaves more like an old sclerotic than a neurotic guy.
(the latter adjective is to accept or drop it acc. it was a nice rhyme. I thought about it.)
NB: Thanks to HL Mencken impetus for this idea and Wikipedia for the accuracy of these figures.
