The American Indian tribes were holding slaves long before the people from Africa came here. It was also a practice in South American and the Caribbean. Conquered and captured people were taken into slavery in the US from other tribes, Canadians, Mexicans, French, Spanish...whoever the tribes took. Slavery is not any different than in the time of Christ and before. It wasn’t relatives that carried Cleopatra on her litter. And all peoples throughout the world either did it or condoned it. And, it is still going on today in many countries. So how can someone point a finger at a particular group when the pointer’s relatives either did it or allowed it? I can spell check hypocrite.

Apparently slavery is only bad when the slaveowners are white and the slaves are black.
