I think there's been a few threads on this before but I couldn't find a recent one to bump, so ya... why does America get such a late game UU? The US only has a couple hundred years of history compared to the in some cases two thousand years of some civs but there's other units that could be used.
Issues with unit lifespan and such aside (for example, riflemen tend to come really quickly after musket men at least for me) I would think a Musketman would make a great UU. It's essentially the unit that was used to fight and become a country or a Rifleman which would basically be the unit used to hold the nation together during the civil war and push the borders of the country over to the Pacific Ocean. A late game unit just doesn't seem the best choice considering the alternatives. If a later game unit were to be used I would think an air unit would make the best choice although Stealth Bombers exist for everyone already.
