Just as it was in Roman culture and influence, America has modeled itself as a leading global power militarily, politically and economically.
Consider themselves as a chosen people to show the rest how things are done.
However, socially, Rome had no middle class, but America has an evident middle class.
Rome Was always depending on slaves throughout its existence, but America's slaveholding was short-lived.
