“Government of the people, by the people, for the people.” ~President Abraham Lincoln,1863
On the 4th of July in 1776, led by John Adams a leading advocate of American independence from Great Britain, destined to become its second president who never owned a slave and was proud of it, a new nation was born in a thriving place called Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Though America is born with a tragic birth defect called slavery (to paraphrase Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice), seems its ultimate abolishment of slavery, driven by its abolitionists, and today’s expansion of human evolution speaks to America’s true destiny.
While a surprise too many perhaps, yet the indisputable facts before us firmly suggest that humanity’s historic practice of slavery did not come to American shores to expand wealth and comfort for the self-seeking elite as usual; rather, it came to die, plain and simple!
Being repugnant to an evolving people, slavery and its barbaric practices in freedom loving America had to die…though it stalled in the fearful ones.
Yet, since life only moves in two directions, seems slavery, in the larger scheme of things, came to America for one purpose only, and that was to promote slavery’s demise in the hearts of humanity everywhere, and thus offer self-government instead!

Accordingly, America is not, nor was it meant to be, a monolith composed of fixed ideas never to change.
As abolitionist Frederick Douglass would discern in his time, the great beauty inherent in the United States Constitution is that it can change!
Thus, American ideas (both good and erroneous) not only can change, but must change when the people demand it. Today, this great effort continues by advanced Americans nationwide.
Happy Birthday America, so very glad you were born!
