It's a long and strange story, but back in medieval times it was traditional to always pass on the left side of people (realtive to you. you actually pass their right), so they couldn't pinch your sword, as it was scabbarded on your left hip.

You americans, being the yellow bellies cowards that you are, shied away from mortal combat and thus dropped this practice.
