Conspiracies, sheeple, the universe and everything

The difference between the US and secession in Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia, etc, is that the in US, we drew up our own union. In Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia, the French the English, the Russians, the Ottomans and the Chinese drew up borders for other peoples.

How so?
Your country spent the next 130+ years negotiating with Britain on where each of you would agree to draw the lines on the map, sometimes going to other countries for international arbitration and getting those countries to help decide on a line to draw.
Currently you have 5 ongoing border disputes with your "new" northern neighbour, in the 1970s and 80s you went to Holland to ask the Hague to draw a border for you.
As for drawing up borders for other people, you seem to be skipping over Americas role in that practice.
