One problem with humanism as the start of the US - their whole underling argument was that certain rights were god given. If we were all created equal, how can one man have the divine right to rule another? It's a great argument imo.
If you define history as the story of humans - which it is - I'd trust humans as far as I can toss TJ
From what I've read the same or greater number of slaves died in the Atlantic crossing than in Hitlers camps. It's a very nice thing that they are both history.
