Originally, America was founded by refuges from Europe. For three hundred the colonies where democracies. In Rhode Island, women could vote and own property. Everybody was a property owner because land was free, so everybody could vote under English Common Law.
But, hey, 2% of Southerners owned slaves. Americas bought 400,o00, Mexico 200,000 (but had a slave genocide), Brazil 2 million, Argentina 4 million (but had 5 slave genocides - no Black Argentinas left), Canada 27,500 (slavery ended in 1901), and every country in Central and South America owned slaves. Which is why they are poor today, just like the South and the Snow Mexicans.
