Well for hundreds of years the majority of Americans were white and Christians, but the entire nation has certainly never been entirely moral and decent. So don't look at the past through rose colored glasses too much.
With that said, when America was mostly white Christian Americans the country was much better off. We shot up to a world super power in record time, we didn't have mass shooters, we didn't have a divided nation, we didn't have rampant crime like we do now, we didn't have rampant drug problems, we didn't have wide spread homeless, we didn't have unsecure borders, we didn't have Americans at war with each other over other countries or foreign religions, and so on. There is no denying America was better for hundreds of years without those things.
What did have is the vast majority of Americans had American morals, values pride and standards. We had a more unified nation.
So you embody the line from the song. Don’t know much about History.
Drugs which are now banned were readily available in any apothecary shop. You could get Tincture of Laudanum. That by the way was Opium in Brandy. You didn’t need a prescription. You didn’t need anything but money to buy it.
You could buy cocaine. It was the original ingredient in Coke by the way. Talk about an energy drink.
This was all no problem since the nanny state didn’t really exist.
You had homeless. You had unemployment. Soup kitchens were common during the depression.
All the things you pretend didn’t exist. Existed.
The border was wide open. People passed back and forth constantly.
You also had mass shootings. They are called massacres in history though.
It’s interesting that you want America to go back to a time and place that didn’t actually exist as you imagine it.
I can see it now. You ride into town, the Sheriff tells you to check your guns. You refuse insisting that you have a second amendment right. You get clocked across the noggin and thrown in prison, or killed, all the while insisting you have a right.
The Christian towns all had whorehouses. Or at least whores working out of the saloons. Good Christian whores, for the good Christian men.
I honestly have no idea where you all get these ideas.
