As far as folklore goes, just off the top of my head we have Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan, the jackalope, John Henry, and Bigfoot.
>all the shit still in UK culture today that originates from pre-christian Paganism is culture, it is deeply entrenched into society and has been left to sink in over the course of literally a thousand years.We literally inherited all of that, anon. The US was founded by Englishmen. Our democratic government was heavily influenced by English conceptions of liberty and the rights of Man.

The US did not emerge fully-formed from the mud.
