      Counterpoint: July 4, 1776, was "the greatest single day for human liberty in the history of the world." https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/07/a-day-to-celebrate-the-american-promise/ …https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1411702308711325700 …

      🧵 245 years ago today, leaders representing 13 British colonies signed a document to declare independence. It says "that all men are created equal" — but women, enslaved people, Indigenous people and many others were not held as equal at the time. https://n.pr/2SJ3Y5v

      Sick and tired of those who completely ignore the social/cultural norms of past eras and/or give the U.S. zero credit for the very significant progress over its lifespan. No one ever thinks progress happens quickly enough. But the journey continues.

      most countries weren't built on chattel slavery, actually, and had a lot less far to go 🙃🙃🙃

      Please consider the source of that statement. There are people who stand to benefit politically and economically if they can convince enough people to believe it. If you look at several objective sources regarding U.S. beginnings you will find it is simply not true.

      The U.S. was not founded as a bastion of slavery. Slavery was simply a fact of life at that time. Our founders, flawed humans that they were, could not get past the times and norms that they lived in.

      At the time of the Founding, slavery existed basically everywhere in the Western Hemisphere, Africa, the Islamic world, & Korea. Serfs were the vast majority of Russia & much of Eastern & Central Europe.

          Precisely. And there were those in the Continental Congress who advocated abolition, even then. But they could not obtain the necessary consensus, without which there would have been no Declaration. Again, they were stuck in their era. As are we.

          So what? Does that mean it was right? Or that you can't acknowledge the hypocrisy of writing 'all men are created equal' when some men were treated as property and beasts of burden?
