For the US the thing is that it is a young country that has not had enough time to get cultural heritage sites.

Being from the country with the 3rd largest number of UNESCO world heritage sites (42 cultural ones); I will say that only 3 were built before the US were even settled by Europeans, let alone from the US independence or the US Civil War:

The Vizcaya Bridge (1893)
Palau de la Musica Catalana (1908)
"The works of Antoni Gaudi" (late 19th and early 20th century)

Everything else dates back to the 16th century at most.

It should be self-explainatory that you will not find any Roman Aqueducts (like the Segovia Aqueduct) or medieval cathedrals (like the Burgos Cathedral) in the United States.
