"Don't ask: 'How did we get here?' This country was built on the racist abomination of slavery, a wrong that was never truly corrected. This country was born here. The question is: 'How can we change?'" --Wendy Molyneux, 2018-01-12

Our country was born rife with internal contradiction. The first abolitionist society was founded before the revolution. Half the states had eliminated slavery in the first 50 years.

Yes, "our country was born rife with internal contradiction," is a more accurate statement. But the economic foundations relying on slavery are still visible.
