@StillIRise1963 Something I've been thinking about: one thing I keep obsessing on is the fact that every step of the way, the United States could have turned out very differently from how it did. There were those with more radical visions before and during the Revolutionary War, some of which rejected white supremacy, slavery, and indigenous genocide. Sometimes one of these things, sometimes all of these. That, I think, adds to the horror; it could have been otherwise. It all could have been otherwise.
