Your assumption about what I know about slavery is not justified by anything I posted

I posted a comment in regards to the story posted.

My relatives fought for the grey as well as the blue. My ancestors were Scots. You need not lecture me about slavery nor anything else

You lecture ignorantly, expect to be lectured in return.

You made the error of broadly generalizing slavery as being uniquely the responsibility of white Americans, by implication southerners more specifically although southerners certainly were not alone in the British North American colonies in buying or trading in slaves. Boston and Providence had slave markets.

That’s not to say that the British North American colonies or the later United States were somehow uniquely and solely responsible, slavery preexisted either one and continued on elsewhere after the practice was ended here.

So, what exactly was your point other than to regurgitate the calculated, manipulative leftist collective guilt trip designed to undermine any reverence for our country’s founding?

I see no point other than that.
