Britain (which you mentioned), France, and Spain all have pretty awful imperial histories too. Not saying that to diminish the atrocities of the US by any means, but let's not pretend the rest of Europe didn't get up to some bullshit.

We got screwed over, didn’t even get good museums out of the horrors and atrocities perpetrated by own government.

We got an entire beautiful, resource rich country from some of our horrors and atrocities so that's something.
