That's because Americans prefer to have holidays for more patriotic reasons no?

I don't think any more then Canada, the holidays are all basically the same with just a couple exceptions.

14 states do recognize Good Friday, but its not on the federal level or the remaining states. I've never really figured out why Easter Holiday is ignored, and the most said reason is because its a religious holiday, but I don't fully know for sure if that is the reason.

Some. Hospital employees get a stat day. I got time and a half.

No Monday off for me in municipal government (although they give us a day off in lieu of the Easter Sunday which we can take before the end of the year)
