I mean, I’m not going to sit here and try to change your mind.
However, if you wanted to look into it, the field of study is called behavioral genetics and it’s incredibly controversial… But the research suggests that upwards of 50% of our behaviors are inherited genetically.
So the group of people that left Europe in search of the new world, and the group of people that sided with America and against England in the war, etc… Those are the people who reproduced and created American culture. Pioneering, willing to die in search of opportunity, oppositional, etc.
I see. So what gene is the tax avoidance gene and does it have rules of inheritance? What chromosome is it on?

Most of my ancestors arrived here in the 1880s. Pretty sure they knew that there was stuff here.

Well the majority of Americans are not descendants of the ~1 million whites that lived in the US at the time, I think it is a sweeping generalization to condense the entire american revolution as a tax revolt. Especially since there are about a dozen grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence. And frankly I find this all to be Lamarkian pseudoscience bigotry.
If you think about it it makes perfect sense.
If I wanted to use bigotry to justify nonsense with no reference whatsoever to facts I would still believe in God. I get that the People’s History of the United States has been blowing the minds of stoned edgy teens for a while now but maybe it’s time to put away childish things.
You don’t need to even laybit at genetics. The fact is that people tend to inherit the values and attitudes of their parents, who inherited theirs from their parents etc.
