You know, for all the atrocities and problems Americans (not the US government, but you are accusing Americans in general of these historical events) caused, isn’t it AMAZIN’ the United States was the envy of the world.
If the people of the United States were so immorally bankrupt throughout our history, isn’t it odd that no other nation, no other people, no other culture could compare with what Americans accomplished.

The lesson is without reproach. Either this shows how strong the ethics and moral base of the people of the United States were or it shows how weak the values of other cultures were during the exact same period of time.
I’d say it’s summed up by a phrase from the hymn America, the Beautiful. “America, America, God shed his grace on thee…”
