Blacks were enslaved in Africa, as well. Women had few rights elsewhere in the world. look at Israel NOW. 229 years after that sacred document went into effect, women still have no rights.
The point being that your constitution was not written for blacks or women

Learn something about the world... Show me one country (England, Canada, etc etc) in which white, highly educated males are not "in charge", free or not, and I'll show you a disgruntled society (as a whole) with a crappy economy.
uhhhh ... JAPAN
Who are you trying to kid? The males, white or not, are very much in charge in Japan.
Getting back to your comments about the delayed US entry into WWII. Canada was bound by treaty to Great Britain -- we had to go. We had no choice, but at the time plenty of Canadians wanted to turn their backs on Britain. A majority of Quebecers were quite prepared to watch Britain sink.
The USA had no such treaty obligation, yet despite that they gave billions in military aid to Canada and Britain, including 50 destroyers at a truly critical time when much of Britain's (& Canada's) convoy escort capability had been sunk. Those fifty ships were sorely missed by the US Navy when they were needed for their own forces. There was even an all-American Spitfire squadron flying in England prior to the US entry into hostilities.
The US placed trade embargos against the Axis powers to limit their ability to gather war material, while "neutral" countries like Sweden, Switzerland, Spain & Ireland traded freely with the Germans.
Your perception of history is typical of the modern Canadian attitude to the USA. That attitude sucks, & it ain't even honest.
