Causes and Solutions

How long does it take to fix US policies inflicting pain and suffering on others? Well, let`s consider slavery in the US. Since the arrival of the first slaves in the US sometime in the early 1600`s, until the 1863 Emancipation Declaration and the defeat of the Confederacy two years later, that would look like about 250 years. But legal abolition of slavery did not abolish or much alter American CULTURAL ATTITUDES towards slavery, at least in some sectors, as seen by resistance to the removal of Confederate monuments. If US policy at home seems "unresolvable," as you state, we`ll wait a hell of a lot longer than 250 years for American Empire policy abroad to change much.
