Answer:

A popular type of character who displayed American common sense by outwitting sophisticated foreigners was called the stage Yankee.

Explanation:

The "stage Yankee" was an early American stage stock character, said to start with Jonathan's character in The Contrast (1787) by Royall Tyler. Federal America was eager to develop nationalistic icons, and the Yankee type was ideal with its unconscious bearing, original pride, and idiosyncratic speech. The Yankee man was a combination of naivete and cunning. He always got the better in a trade or deal, but in fashion, language, and politics he was childishly naive.
