He didn't - he just ignored the shoulders America was standing on when it gifted the world something the world already had in a less developed form

He wasn't writin' out a lineage of indvidualist thinkin'. He wrote a short piece, probably for some publication, with a specific word count in mind. I don't think he ignored them shoulders: he just didn't have room to fit 'em in. And them shoulders weren't the point of the piece anyway.
