Wait until your find that early US presidents were slavers and slaver families still control decent chunks of US economy

Anyone with a history book on US knows the revolution was about extremely rich people wanting a country of their own to rule, so they didn't have to pay taxes to the royal family, which it propagandized as a people's rebellion. It was a war among the colonists about who gets to loot the riches of the land.

So it isn't a surprise, they've kept their initial agenda above everything and everyone else.
