>America’s founding is steeped in moral principles, from its very founding document.

The same founding documents that insisted that all men were created equal, and that America was for, of, and by those men

but not THOSE men?

The same document that spent a significant quantity of it's rather short length handing out provisions to literal slaveowners?

Those same founders thought it would be better to split off the whole list of inalienable rights to a separate document that possibly could have failed to be adopted?

Nothing is more American than ignoring the history of what actually happened in favor of some totally rose tinted propaganda.
