@Ramafuchs,
Americans are people who have arrived here from many countries, or are the progeny of people who arrived here over time from many countries. Most of these people adhere to the same principles.
Exodus 20:1 " 20:14
Thou shalt have no other gods before Me;
thou shall not make unto thee a graven image,
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain;
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Honour thy father and thy mother,
Thou shalt not commit murder.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Thou shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbour’s.
The Declaration of Independence
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
The Constitution of the United States of America
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
There are people living in America and other countries who fail to adhere to these same principles. They are a torment to Americans as well as to human beings living throughout the world..
There are people living in America who have successfully aided millions throughout the world as well as Americans. There are now deceased Americans who have successfully aided millions throughout the world as well as Americans.
Thankfully, the are no alive or deceased Americans who participate in or participated in the mass-murders of millions of non-murderers.
There are and were Americans who participated in the mass-murder of mass-murderers of non-murderers in successful efforts to terminate or reduce the mass-murders of non-murderers.
It took Americans 89 years to end slavery. However, unlike too many other countries we have not permitted slavery in America in over 143 years.
Americans with few exceptions have learned to judge people by their character and the consequences of their actions, and not by their skin color, their gender, their religion, their ethnic group, or their national origin.
I hope and pray that we continue our good record, and continue to improve on that good record.
God bless America.
