So true “American” enslavement of Africans ONLY lasted for 74 or 77 years. June 21, 1788 (or 1791) until Juneteenth 1865 (really December’65).

"Four score and seven years." The nation was founded July 4, 1776. The Supreme court has always recognized July 4, 1776 as the day the US became an independent nation. You can see their discussion of the point in Inglis v. Trustees of Sailor's Snug Harbor, among other decisions.
