Beg to differ. My family name goes back to the Revolutinary War. My amateur genealogical work on other parts of the family has yet to reveal a single slave. I suspect I am not all that unique. Now when you start looking at families who historically had wealth and power, of course you will find slavery. The vast majority of us descended from peons who had to do their own work.
Oh, just because Alexander Hamilton once owned a slave doesn’t make him a “slave owner”—at least not the way Hamilton would have preferred the term defined; the definitions are slippery and many historians depend on last wills and testaments to define the status. That would require a life and death owning slaves. Freed slaves also owned slaves. Jews owned slaves. Even the Cherokees driven out of the south by Andrew Jackson owned slaves. Ah, it’s in our DNA! Like original sin.
