America isn’t the only country with a “he who dares wins” culture. The brothers Grimm had a story about “The Devil with the Three Golden Hairs” where the protagonist is tasked with plucking the three hairs off the devil’s head. And he does. So that type of story isn’t exclusive to America. But such sentiments are probably more popular here since it takes a certain type of crazy to cross the ocean and build a new life in a wilderness full of hostile natives just because you don’t like paying taxes.
