1776 is when America started. In 1619 there was no America the country, it was brittish colonies. 1619 wasn’t even the first African slaves to step foot on the North American continent, they were just the first to arrive to one specific colony in Verginia.

I know all that. That’s why a said as a country, not a nation-state; to differentiate between national culture and government It was the nation-state that started in 1789. I’m not wasting any more time arguing with you. It’s clear we won’t understand each other.
