Today, I realized I've been confusing scenes from The Lord of the Rings with American history. FML

One does not simply confuse real life with Lord of the Rings.

It isn't so far fetched. Lord of the Rings was written around the time of World War 2. In a sense, there are some parallels with particular events in world (as opposed to American) history. However, I'm talking about the broader backdrop rather than the personal storyline.

So the long wars and hardships endured by the American forefathers doesn't count as history? Let alone impacts we have had in the world. The chase for freedom that opened up so many opportunities for the rest of the world. I thin America has much history.

A history of bloodshed and cruelty towards native populations, not to mention slavery and civil war (followed by foreign war after war after war after war) then unwanted overseas occupations. Then there's all the domestic violence, religious violence and intolerance, and the general racism, sexism, and greed... Oh, and three of your own presidents have been assassinated.

Just about every other country started off that way too so I don't see why you are stereo typing America.

Actually LOTR is somewhat based on events that happened in WW2, Nazghouls=Nazis

Actually, it's based on the events of World War I, as Tolkien (and several of his friends) fought in that war - but not in WWII (he acted merely as a codebreaker for the English). Also it's spelled Nazgul.
