Is America truly a democracy? Has America ever been a democracy with the institution of slavery?
Meaning of the quote
This quote is asking whether the United States is truly a democracy, especially when it had slavery. Slavery is when people are forced to work for others without being paid or having freedom. The quote suggests that having slavery might mean the U.S. was not really a democracy, which is a government where the people have power and freedom. The quote is questioning whether the U.S. has always been a true democracy, or if it had slavery, which would go against the idea of a democracy.
