Quote by Jesse Watters

“You don't judge the 1820s America by 2020 standards. You judge the 1820s by which people helped build what became 2020 America. As individuals, we can acknowledge our sins, repent and grow. As a nation, we should do the same. A man without a memory is lost, and so is a nation. We can't learn from the past if we erase it.”
