Not until the Republican Party, the Democrat Party, and Congress apologize for the freight tariff placed on goods manufactured in the South and sold elsewhere which was not repealed until 1962. That tariff was nothing but mean spirited punishment for the South's interest in States Rights instead of an overweight burdensome Federal Government.

Not until the descendants of the families who owned the slave ships which brought slaves to the USofA apologize to the American Public for making money off of selling human beings.

Not until the "Party of Lincoln" apologizes to the American Public for the tens of thousands of former slaves who died as a result of their Lincoln-liberation with no resources provided for their welfare.

If there are going to be apologies, then everyone who is or has had any power in politics in the USofA owes apologies to their constituents and to the American Public in general for voting their pocketbook instead of for the good of the American Public. Apologies are owed for taking lobbyists money, for lying under oath, for all manner of unethical, indecent, and immoral behaviors perpetuated on the American Public by the entire Federal, State and Local Governments and the various politicians. There is no way that what has gone before can be excused with just a wordy apology. The American Public needs to see moral and ethical deeds and actions out of its Federal, State and Local politicians.

Judges who have legislated from the Bench owe the American Public apologies and promises to refrain from such activity in the future.

The ACLU owes apologies to the American Public for attacking the good, the moral and the ethical in favor of the evil, the immoral and the unethical.

Illegal Aliens having entered the USofA unlawfully and having used resources intended for US Citizens owe the American Public an apology as they return to their home countries and complete the necessary paperwork to enter the USofA legally and lawfully.

Criminals owe apologies and restitution for those they have harmed. Murderers owe apologies to the families of those they have killed including admitting their guilt in Court.

The Democrat(not 'ic') Party AND the Republican Party of today are NOT the Parties of the late Nineteenth Century. Today's political Parties are not responsible for slavery.

Why don't you request apologies from countries and nations which CURRENTLY promote slavery? Look at our "allies" who still promote slavery in their countries (and who bring that mind-set to the USofA). Preach to them. No one "owes" anyone an apology. Everyone "owes" everyone moral and ethical words and deeds.

Is slavery really the issue here? Is not the real, the honest issue the way each person treats others?

No need to scream.

Tens of thousands? What lost cause propaganda sheet did you get that misinformation from?
