38. Our legacy of mass murder, war, slavery, and bigotry colors today's political climate.
It started with pre-industrial colonization and continues to this day, mainly because a large percentage of Americans have a poor education regarding our history, and because many agree with such hateful and murderous policies of the past (and present).

Roe vs. Wade is but a single example of the fight against institutionalized bigotry (religiously-based misogyny, combined with racism and classicism).
