and we stole the land out from under the Indians after landing here. Great men did allot of bad things. But here we are smack dab in the first quarter of the 21st century. Democracy is a verb, and it's been busy for 249 yrs or so. We've outlawed slavery and honor the sovereignty of other countries (until djt, anyways.)
We did pretty good for 240 yrs, so I'm definitely not ready to give up the ship yet.
