We had a war - We gave slaves 40 acres and a mule.
THEY HAD REPARATIONS.
To say otherwise is a lie.
My father’s side of the family emigrated from Germany in 1846 and settled in Indiana.They got here just in time to fight in the civil war.So I don’t want to hear any reparations talk,we already paid the price in blood.
“We had a war - We gave slaves 40 acres and a mule.

No. The vast majority received nothing except their freedom. Most all war time orders on this were rescinded, and only a few were able to keep the land given to them by the Union Army after the war.
