Anyone who doesn’t want to participate in the American dream, to live in the country as it is, should be purchased a one-way ticket to whatever country they’d rather be in - I understand Ghana will take them. Just go.

I don’t know why I never hear anything but guilt from America about the past slavery. The whole darned world practiced slavery. It was the way things were at the time. One by one, countries abolished the practice. Why isn’t EVERYONE being raked over the coals for past ways that are no longer acceptable? You’d think America was the only country who used slaves. Heck, the North American natives used each other as slaves if they lost a battle.

The world needs one great big “Get Over It” day.....enough is enough.

*************
Slavery existed a total of 78 years in the United States of America which was established with the signing of the Constitution.

Thomas Jefferson included strong anti-slavery trade language in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, but other delegates removed it.

Sorry, the United States of Amercia became a nation with the signing of the Constitution in 1787.

Slavery existed in the US for sum total of 78 years.

What other country worked at an finally ended slavery over such a short timespan?

They need to start looking at Spain, Portugal, and other European countries, rather than the US.

Go talk to Spain, Portugal, the Dutch, and the British that practice slave trading for centuries before the US became a nation. go talk to the countries that made the profits of the dastardly act.

And.....go sue the Muslim countries that continued the slave trade until the 20th century and up until now.

Slaves shipped east to Muslim lands were castrated, so they could not reproduce. Thank G_d my ancestor came west.
