I study the past, so I'm well aware of what it really is, not what people want it to be.
I consider that the USA has already passed its peak of geopolitical power, but our economic strength is not yet fully gone, especially given that every problem the USA has, the EU countries and Japan have moreso. China's a lot of issues that will one day create the mother of all shitstorms, while India's slower progress through democratic means makes it the dark horse candidate everyone misses.
It seems that way, but it never was. In the grand old days of the past people turned a blind eye to sterilizing juvenile delinquents, passing lynching postcards around, and strategic bombing campaigns designed to kill enough civilians the enemy would quit. I study history, but I do not have issues with actually wanting to live in it.
And yes, the Founders were traitors, they won, the Confederates lost. The only difference right there.
