But America and Americans ALWAYS tried to do the RIGHT thing in the context of the times of the past -- some of those things just didn't age well but by golly, when we wisened up, we fixed those bad things.

I believe it was Churchill who said that America can be counted on to do the right thing after exhausting all other options. I think he's more right than you are, even if your stance is similar. His framing of how we do things is more spot-on.

But, yeah...those compromises are biting us now. Well, some of them (electoral college). Others we've dispensed with (3/5 rule).
