Leaves of Grass

What is so strange about the idea that Whitman is so fervently patriotic in the poems he has written? When was Whitman born in relation to the 'birth' of the United States?

Whitman was born more than forty years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, but he still associates himself with the birth of the United States.
