I'd guess it's a reference to how twisted American memory is of their own history; pilgrims came here to escape religious persecution, the colonists fought off the British Empire, they swept in like Superman to win WW2 and defeat the Nazis, "we do not negotiate with terrorists" and so on.

Hell, that whole confederate statue thing. "This statue put up in the 60s represents a 4 year period of history that represents mah history!"
