I'm confused. There's all this talk about how Lego won't do a Civil war
theme, because it's American and Lego is European. The thing is, the whole
western theme is American, in the first place. The whole cowboys and indians
(or Native AMERICANS) thing is from US history. The blue-clad soldiers are
wearing uniforms of the US army, circa late 19th century. If Lego never does
a Civil war theme, I don't see how it would have anything to do with the
fact that Lego is a European company.
