Well I for one grew up with a map of the world, and a map of the solar system on the wall and a globe circa 1950 (given to me by my dad and since given to our neighbors spoiled kids… one day if they haven’t destroyed it I should take it back) on my dresser.
On that globe there was only 1 country that my ancestors came from that was on that map: England. The other two not so much. About half the countries on that globe say they belonged (Ex. French Indo China) to someone else or were big chunks of nations where many smaller ones are now (Ex. USSR, France’s Central African Republic). The United States of America is the same as it is today as it was on that globe (a few small islands not withstanding)
Maybe thats the reason I think they way I do.
