Author Robert Kagan: ‘A Lot of Americans Historically Have Wanted to Regard Our Nation as a White, Protestant Nation’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KAGAN: "Well, race has been a critical issue for Americans ever since its founding. Race, regard to slavery, the South, leaders of the South, John Calhoun and others did not believe that black people had equal rights, so they justified the system of slavery on that basis. And it’s pretty clear that a lot of Americans historically have wanted to regard our nation as a white, protestant nation. Many believe that that’s what the Founders wanted, even though that it’s definitely not what the Founders wanted."
