I would say that the one European thing Americans adopted way to well is a modern thing in a "new" country: the German approach to public education.

Some of those German ideas about the venerability of authority have been like a plague of broomrape in American soil: parasitic and toxic. German authoritarianism did a lot to fill the ranks of Abraham Lincoln's stealth-revolutionary army, and now it oozes from our governmental departments as well. We took a lethal draught when we imported all those docile, tractable, manageable German immigrants.
