What godly roots and what did the country look like when it was so called "blessed"? The 5 founders I mentioned obviously were not godly. Democracy has it's roots in Greece, separation of powers and checks in balances in the Roman Republic, governance by consent of the people and the social contract in the political philosophers of the European Enlightenment e.g. John Locke, etc.
And I would suggest that a black man coming off a feces and diseased filled boat to be sold in the market place as chattel might not share your views on how "blessed" America was way back when!

I'm 100% for prayer and repentance! The more the better.
