One group of people enslaving another may technically be one culture, but it’s nothing to brag about. Misty-eyed sentimental wishes for a return to the glory days of yesteryear are insulting.

Slavery was an ancient institution borne of compassion. The choice of the victor was to slaughter all or enslave the women and children. If you wish to degrade all cultures that existed before 1865, you are free to do so, but it is foolish and shallow. Read your Bible, nowhere does it state that the institution of slavery was wrong, but rather that the slaveholder had duties and responsibilities to the enslaved. The Jews prohibited their members from selling slaves to certain people, on the suspension on how those others would treat their slaves. I am trying very hard to find this culture that existed in history that did not partake in slavery. So I guess you find the Judeo-Christian culture that merged with Greek-Roman culture to be nothing to brag about. Soldier up and recognize the truth of history. History was not lived as a parlor game.
