The question is, if we could turn back the clock, knowing what we know now, would we have chosen to have slavery or not.

I know I would say, “No, Thank You” to slavery. Just imagine where this country would be today if we never had it.

Now of course, saying this, might get one labelled as a racist...but which is it, would they rather have had their ancestors as slaves here, or would they have rather stayed in Africa?

And remember, lots a racism back in Africa among all of the different tribes. And they all kept their own slaves as well....history isn’t so “black and white” to excuse the expression.

I agree. In addition to the basic violation of human rights, slavery artificially inflated productivity.
