After all, isn't that part of "Americana".. the sheriff walking down the street to face off with the bad guys, while the townspeople shut their windows and refuse to risk their own lives?

In case you didn't know, those were movies.

Maybe we should be more like that movie, "The Patriot", where Gibson's character refuses to fight until his family is terrorized by the British regulars. And once that occurs, he goes on a rampage of revenge and blood, showing no little mercy.

One of your problems is you appear to be having some problem differentiating movies and reality. When the British came towards Monticello, Thomas Jefferson scooted out as fast as he could.

P.S. Father Knows Best wasn't a documentary on Americana.
