A lot has changed since then. Since then all citizen (of legal age) can vote not just male land owners. So many other things have changed. Though people tend to focus on the very vocal minority that spread hate rather than American Society in general.

Not all of the changes have been for the good, can we name a country where they have been? The way I see it the whole world society is crumbling due to our prioritizing profit over people. Unfettered capitalism just does not work yet no one is willing to address the elephant in the room. Manly because the elephant is very imposing and destroys lives when we do.
