Okay. I'm going to be mean now. Don't take it personally.

You're being really annoying in a way Americans often are that I can't stand. You are taking the most dramatic moments of American history and calling that the rule, and when I bring up moments from European history you are calling it the exception.

And no, it's really really not. Sweden played a part in the slave trade and owned colonies (kind of) in America before America became America.

America is a REALLY young country.
