Yeah no it wasn’t particularly great from the start, I’m just of the opinion that it planted the seeds for better systems long term. Problem is that most of those seeds either can’t sprout till the Union is gone or are otherwise outside the US.

Also the movement from aristocracy to oligarchy was an improvement even if a lot of the benefits have become less noticeable with time what with the modern oligarchs trying to become new aristocrats. Point is the revolution did help to break certain power structures that were about a millennium old by that point.
