America since the beginning has been a country founded on pure unadulterated bada**ery. From the men of Jamestown sailing to America, to the billionaire playboys in modern times, America has had so many bright shining ideals, but behind every shining light, is the dirty coal mine that supplies the electricity.
Every hero in American history has had a dark side. The settlers at Jamestown, warred with the native Americans that already lived in the area. The Revolutionary War heroes, every last one of them was committing treason to their country, and if the revolution were to fail, they all would have been tried and hanged for treason. The men who fought in both world wars witnessed things that no man should ever see. And America's golden boy John Wayne was an extreme racist who believed in white supremacy.
Not downplaying the magnitude of all of these people, but when looking back on history, remember that there is always bad inside the good.
