The whole reparations thing is a crock. The Civil War and slavery wasn’t that cut and dry. My ancestors were Republicans in the South that fought for the Confederacy and never owned a slave or believed in slavery. Some people in the South fought for the Confederacy for reasons other than to keep slaves. That is one of the many things in history that has been covered up or rewritten.

“Some people in the South fought for the Confederacy for reasons other than to keep slaves.”
Good point. Many or most probably went because they were afraid that everybody they knew would think of them as a yellow belly if they didn’t, and later because they’d go to jail or be shot if they didn’t. So it isn’t like there was a lot of choice involved for anybody.
I don’t owe anyone anything for reparations..
I have a picture of a family reunion in PA in the 1890’s - two of the relatives have missing limbs and they said prayers for ‘Uncles so and sos” who were lost in the ‘War between the States’..
