What did America mean by this?
Nothing and everything.
Americans have always had a thing for naming stuff after random stuff. It gets worse with street names. I can think of like 5 Atlanta avenues, Roanoke Avenues, Washington avenue, and so on.
Hell there's an area called Long Island near where I live... I live in Southern Virginia
Kentucky is better than Britain. In Kentucky, it's only a 20 minute drive from London to Somerset, and it's only a two hour drive from Somerset to Glasgow.

No one in this country actually thinks like that though, and that's not why there named after those places. Most people in this country only care about their ancestry, out of pure curiosity.
The few places that are named after other places because of something like that were actually founded by those people.
But most of the time the name of these cities has absolutely nothing to do with the other city, except for the same name.

there's nothing wrong with caring about your heritage, no matter how much you bitch about it it's still a tangible, real thing that there's nothing wrong with studying or being proud of. Fuck hyphen Americans though.
The USA is literally WE WUZ: the country.

Most of those places were named by first or second generation German immigrants.
letting in European immigrants was a mistake
