Yeah and Congress also provided over a confederation back then that had several hundred thousand blacks as slaves. Your point? America has never been a paragon of virtue. We've accomplished a lot more than any other civilization in human history. All of this doomsday rhetoric about the death of the republic is getting old. One day the socialist system here will collapse. To barrow from Marx, it is a historic innevitability...
