The United States was founded by men who were racist white supremists whose income and wealth depended on slavery and the appropriation of the land of the indigenous people by force. The war with England was the result of that country moving to banning slavery inside the country and it was feared that this ban would be extended to the colonies. The other factor was the Royal Proclamation of 1763 that forbade settlers in the areas west of the Appalachins and this was prime real estate already being surveyed by men working for Washington and Thomas Paine and others.
After Bacon's Rebellion it became essential for the landowners to segregate the European settlers from people of color as they feared more uprisings. It is also why the Second Amendment was added so that there would be private militia available to fight these "insurgents".
The men who took over what is now Texas did so as the Mexican government was also about to abolish slavery in their country. The "texans" wanted the land to grow cotton and wanted to be able to use slave labor. When Haiti broke free of the French the U.S. government supported France and has continued to exploit the people of this rich country without mercy.
This strategy of divide and conquer has worked exceedingly well for more than years. Even with the Civil War and the 13th Amendment the practice of slavery has continued in the USA to the present day. The GOP with Trump is not a fundamental shift but a continuation of the policies and practices of this country, regardless of how we might light to see ourselves and rewrite history.
