Not for the slaves. Or the native Americans.

Your point?

And, no, I'm not being facetious. Producing a workable system of government so
that a group of people can enjoy a stable representative system of government
that genuinely represents them is *one* problem. Changing the attitudes of one
group of people so that it no longer supports inequality for other groups of
people is a *different* problem.

Thus, while Negro slavery certainly is a blot on the escutcheon of the United
States of America, it does not detract from what the American founding fathers
did achieve - among which was a system that provided the resiliency and
mechanisms by which progress to eliminate just such injustices could be
achieved.

They were achieved earlier in many other countries.


To some extent. The U.S. didn't invent much that was new. It had the
good fortune to be the first country created from scratch after the
Enlightenment. It was founded on philosophical principles that were
developed in Europe. Those same principles rather quickly changed the
nature of European governments and societies, as well, but given
conservatism and social inertia, it was still at least decades after
the U.S. adopted them.


Slavery.

Ah. I don't consider slavery to be implicitly wrong. But in the more
developed parts of the world, ethics changed to view it as wrong, and
yes, that happened later in the U.S. than elsewhere.

That explains much of your pathology.
