Throughout the heated presidential debate on Tuesday night, the Democratic nominee repeatedly vowed to transform America for the better, but never explained why he hadn’t been able to do that during the decades he has already spent holding positions of immense power.

Under Colonial law, the legal status of the mother was conferred upon her children. The daughter, Sarah, was free. But like her destitute mother, fined for bearing a mulatto child, she became an indentured servant....
