Thank you for posting a well written piece. While America does indeed have its flaws it has also tried for centuries to right those wrongs. I am sure we will continue to make mistakes but the mistakes we make and have made should be tempered with what the times were like at that point in history. Let us remember that good men and women make mistakes all the time. Good people look at those mistakes, realize what they are and move on in the hope of not making the same mistake again. Who are we today to judge people and their actions 300 years ago. Were mistakes made? Of course. But that is history. Some of our greatest men and women made those mistakes while also doing great things for America. Is it too hard for some of us to celebrate the great things those people did while still acknowledging the mistakes?
