Because we didn't punish the Confederate traitors hard enough.

Because Biden didn't round up Trump and all of his henchmen immediately after being sworn in, and ship them to Gitmo for extensive interrogation about their treason with Russia, and corruption.

USA has always been scared of applying real consequences for fear of losing popular support. Jefferson and Adams knew slavery was wrong. Adams knew it was wrong and abhorred it. But couldn't do anything because of that reason and the need unite the States of a new nation. Same after the Civil War, healing a fractured nation and all that. Even leading to the Civil War there were Missouri and 1850 Compromises. And it goes on and on. United States of Compromise.
