Describe the difference in culture in the story? (Britain and america)

The impression formed from our reading of the story suggests that the primary difference between the Americans and the Europeans was that the former were considered to be modern and believers in rationality. While the latter, that is the Europeans, were still entrenched in tradition and superstition, they had a social hierarchy which had to be maintained with assiduity and seen to be comfortable in their age-old customs. Americans did not care for that kind of thing being a modern society that had was still in developing. The English were proud of their heritage and assigned a lot of value to ancestry and property. The Otis family are depicted as fearless even in the face of preternatural phenomena while the former English occupants of Canterville Chase were helpless victims in the hands of the ghost. This shows that an emergent modern nation like America and its citizens were of a pioneering sort with not a grain of fear because they had travelled to unknown lands and set up homes in wild places. The English on the other hand adhered quite rigidly to their customs, they were yet to banish their family ghosts.
