Despite your asshole posturing, you're not far off from the truth.

>1600s and 1700s
>American literature is mostly a Calvinist circlejerk with some frontier stories peppered here and there
>"YOU'RE GOING TO HELL, THIS COUNTRY IS REALLY BIG" is the pervasive theme
>British Literature is going through a golden age
>Shakespeare, Pope, Swift, Locke, Milton, Bacon, Defoe
>America becomes independent, eager to carve out a national identity separate from Britain
>Famous quote appears from a British journal: "Who reads an American book?"
>Thoreau and Emerson, the transcendentalists, break the ice ane encourage an anticonformist, risk-taking literature
>Writers like Hawthorne and Poe appear, American literature starts to tackle life in a human, secular way that is aesthetically pleasing
>Huge breakthrough: The Scarlet Letter is published. Captures the zeitgeist of a particular era. Best observation of American society up to that point.
>more ambitious, creative novels asserting an American identity ensue

and thus we have the Great American Novel
