Why hasn't anyone written an epic poem glorifying the founding fathers of the United States, like Virgil with the founding of Rome?
Such an epic poem would be kino.

No dude it would be gay.
In the White House there is a ceiling mural depicting Washington and the founding fathers becoming gods, called apotheosis of Washington. It’s a shitty painting; turns out the only artists who want to glorify the state are gay fags who use O and thou in poems and think big words = big smart.
If you think you can make it not gay, good luck but I’m telling you it will be gay

Nah i can’t get intimate with men. When I see a man I relate immediately to all their most disgusting aspects in and out, and I can’t possibly bring myself to sexualize them. It would be like trying to jerk off to my own image in the mirror.

But in reference to the point, I’m saying gay as in really fucking cringe and trite and melodramatic and tone deaf and prissy little lord Fauntleroy type faggotry that teachers pets and second graders who part their hair exude.

Because of the terror of history. We know the full lives of all of the major Founding Fathers, in fact many of them even have autobiographies. For ancient cities like Rome and even medieval states like France and England their early history was vague at best so there was a lot of room for myth and story-telling. The best you can get is historical fiction set during the events surrounding historically minor fictional characters, like Mel Gibson's The Patriot. What sort of epic story could you write about George Washington when we already know his entire life?

Someone wrote one fairly recently, they published it solely on the web. it was pretty big here about a decade ago. If no one posts the link I will dig into old bookmark files and see if I can find it. It was pretty interesting and went up to fairly recent history, i think style might have reflected the era that section was about? Massive undertaking by some random person.

By force wich is pretty ironic and it turned to shit for most of them. See Korea and basically all mid eastern countries.

Fucking cope. You can't just join a war at the very end, send in a few ships and call it a victory. Not a single foreign bullet has been shot on american soil before and after Pearl Harbor. The only real war you've been too was against some isolated island gooks who beat you with nothing but bushes and shit stained pointy sticks. Get over yourselves.
