at the expense of the genocided natives and on the back of slaves. there isn't and never was an American Dream that was possible except through the brutal exploitation of human beings.

Gotta love exploitation. I just want to know what “God fearing” men/women decided that exploitation was the way? Especially when the whole point of the revolution was to get away from being exploited and treated poorly under the British crown. Like, how did so few people see the mirror (and give a shit) that we ended up with slavery for so long?

slavery and exploitation where the explicit purposes of the revolution. read "The Counter-Revolution of 1776". remember that Washington's very first act as president was to go put down some farmers and workers that wanted a better deal.
