There is the Colonial 1700's and such, we refer to the 1800's as Victorian/industrial revolution - taken by the style of building which we copied.  The Gold Rush. The roaring twenties/Art deco.  The depression.  As a younger country they tend to break it apart by decade for easy reference in the 1800's and throughout the 1900's.

I think they are quite different. New England is older (not the people just the culture).

I cannot teach you but I can point you to an interesting book about the topic:\nThe American Way: An Introduction to American Culture\nhttp://web.utk.edu/~mccay/mybooks/esl_list/details/8204.html

English is probably more popular than the other European languages because they were the last dominant civilization after the colonization days.  Spain had its great times for a while before the Armada.  France didn't really do much of anything.  England was the most widespread, and Americans carried over English.  In the 1800s and so on, America grew more and more powerful, so I'm guessing that's one of the reasons it's quite popular.

England for a start. We use feet, inches, pounds, miles and stone, we're rather resistant to the metric system. America uses some of it I believe with things liek miles and lbs but i think slowly they're turning to metric more and more. The rest of Europe is very strictly metric, leading the way is France

They were called 'colonies'. England colonized the eastern US in the early 1500's, the 13 original colonies became states when the United States was formed by the continental congress when the Declaration Of Independence was signed in 1776. More recently, Standard Oil has tried to re-colonize the US and institute a petro-government, but the american people aren't havin' it. Sucks to be Standard Oil(or offshoots or daughter companies. Sorry, guys).

Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maine, Connecticutt, are some more names.  Old England is out of the country. So is Canada.

I would love to have been born in the "Victorian Era". I am really drawn to that period. Especially, victorian houses. I liked this question!

I would say it depends on whether England or America has had the most recent influence in the particular country.

Nice answer...but the question says 1800s and your answer says 1900s?

Hi Lana, there should be something on the subject within these links.\n\nSocial Studies\n\nAmerica began as colonies of England, France, Spain, and the Netherlands. The story of America as a nation must begin with the colonization of the East Coast.\n\nhttp://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/subjects/colonialtimes.htm\n\nJamestown and how America started.\n\nhttp://www.east-buc.k12.ia.us/01_02/AH/jt/jt.htm\n\nhttp://cvesd.k12.ca.us/finney/journey/___thebeginning.html\n\nhttp://www.east-buc.k12.ia.us/01_02/AH/ca_intro.htm\n\nhttp://www.apva.org/history/\n\nhttp://www.academicinfo.net/usearlycolonial.html\n\n Although there were other Europeans who had visited and even tried to establish colonies on the eastern coast of the New World, the British were the first to establish a permanent colony. They named their fort Jamestown.\n\nhttp://www.dasd-ew.org/kirk/jamestown.htm\n\nThe American Colonies\n\nThe history of the original 13 colonies is a tangled tale indeed. There are many ways to view the events and, in hind sight, it is easy to think you understand. But no one knew where they were headed at the time and it could have ended up very different.\n\nhttp://www.dasd-ew.org/history.htm#colonial\n\nhttp://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/modsbook12.html\n\nGood luck.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

Common Era. It's the same as A.D. but without religious connotations.

American culture is a Western culture, largely based on British culture with influences from other parts of Europe, the Native American peoples, African Americans and to a lesser extent Asian Americans and other young groups of immigrants.
