“our system of government is built on Christian ideals.”

“She also credited Christianity as the reason why women “were no longer considered like cattle” and “slaves were treated better””

““people came here primarily to spread the Christian gospel””
And exploit and slaughter and enslave. But hey, everything is fine if it is for Jeebus.
