All I can say on the subject is Trump is a shitty human being that was elected by who I consider horrible people, and I cannot wait until he is out of office for the many things he does, as he is, in my opinion, the antithesis of what it means to be American.

What does it mean to be American? Remember that the US was founded by rich, white male slaveowners.

People seem to forgot that a large majority of the people lived in non-slave states during the founding of the republic. 

2nd the US did not start slavery here. We were subjects of the British crown and they started it. I agree with the discription "birth defect" about slavery. It took about 70 years to fully ditch it. Which would be like from like from now to the beginning of the cold war. 

And lastly it is a bit ingenuous to judge our ancestors by our modern moral norms. Slavery had always been a thing since the begginning of humanity. It was not until the industrial revolution that people started to actually care on a wide scale about the practice. Why then? Because it was no longer the most economic method. Machines are our slaves now. Also if you think about it in 150 years I am sure our descendents will find something we do that to us is "normal" to be barbaric. Maybe abortion, maybe something else we probably don't know right now which is why we do it... same applies to them (our ancestors).
