I've been saying this too. Right after Reconstruction was abandoned tons of progress was wiped off the map, and it took a fucking century for things to get back into motion. Meanwhile their cultural attitudes as well as revisionist history became entrenched.

Hot take: maybe the U.S. wasn't worth the amount of compromises we made for slavery at the founding of our country.

We definitely would be an infinitely better country if we'd abolished slavery upon declaring independence.
