When you talk about rise of morality and civility, you're really only referring to a brief slice of American history, roughly 1900-1965 (with timeouts for some major wars) at best.

Even then, this morality and civility were only extended to some white people. It was not a good time to be anything other than a white male. We've always been a wild society prone to violence and greed and the protection of our interests above all else.
