I'm not talking about the British, ace, I'm talking about the building of America. You know, after the British.
And I doubt much of that required compromising on core values. Few people do that with regard to these things. It's the practical stuff that people compromise on; it's the methods, the pathway to achieving your goals (you know, based on your core values).
I assume many Americans share the same core values anyway. They tend to differ on the details.
