The United States was founded to preserve freedom through life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Constitution of 1788 created a more centralized federation, granting Congress limited but extensive powers—mainly over borders and resolving disputes between states—while leaving domestic matters to the states. Citizens could freely move between states in search of opportunity or to escape persecution, aligning with the biblical principle that "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" (2 Corinthians 3:17).

However, over time, particularly as Marxist and Nietzschean philosophy took root, and Darwin's theories led to eugenics and a rejection of ancient wisdom, the country shifted its focus. The abolition of slavery, inherited from England and propelled by a free banking system and fractional reserves, redefined the moral compass. With money becoming elastic, the idea of enslavement for debts became immoral, as the courts could forgive debts at the expense of the general populace. This echoed the biblical warning that "the borrower is slave to the lender" (Proverbs 22:7).

Driven by this new gospel of egalitarianism, there was a push to spread abolition and equality across continents. In the process, the central government grew into an uncontrollable leviathan, seizing power over money through central banking. The pursuit of human ideals without regard for God’s principles of justice and freedom led to a government that no longer reflects the federation’s original intent, becoming instead a power unto itself, as warned in 1 Samuel 8:11-18, when the people desired a king over them.
