Didn't people start America because the places they came from hundreds of years ago, Britain, Germany, France etc. were so oppressively unequal with respect to wealth and liberty?
So, hundreds of years later, what have they created? Something better? Something similar? Something same same but different?

No not really. As far as I understand it was religious freedom which brought the pilgrims, and then the American revolution was about tyrannical government.
- unmole 5y agoThe pilgrims and Puritans wanted to practice their own interpretation of Christianity. They did not support any wider concept of religious freedom and had no qualms about persecuting other religious groups like Baptists and Quakers.
