It's true, we Yanks can be stubborn. Not the best of traits. I had known that the 1812 was written by a Russian composer, but not familiar with the Napoleon link. In any event, music is an interpretive medium - just like all art. Overall, i feel it fits well with our 4th of July festivities.
A good essay on how it became a part of the day go to Google and search "The Fourth of July and the 1812 Overture: A History"

Some people are stupid enough to think the war of 1812 was about American independence. *cough cough*
