I just don’t see how a nation can be “moral” really…

I think the notion you’re referring to is that the US was created from scratch by thoughtful and educated philosophers, rather than just evolving however it evolved, by centuries of kings being beheaded and giving way to new kings, etc. People came together, discussed what would be the best way to rule a country, and then did it. Thus, a moral country.
