Thanks, but the answer is plain. Our "inheritance" is from many peoples, sources and cultures. I placed a map in this thread, related to the theme and your title, "Considering the Louisiana Purchase, did the United States inherit slavery from France?"
We also "inherited" Marxism through Britain and Germany's Frankfurt School transposed to NUC. We've inherited lots that I reject, and so do you.
“Our “inheritance” is from many peoples, sources and cultures.”
Not when it comes to specific land grants. Ownership is 9/10ths of the law and we did not purchase the Louisiana Territory from “many peoples, sources and cultures.” We purchased the land from France.
That land was French land and that slavery was French slavery. Full stop. The fact will always be there. It does not go away.
I’m not French. I have no problems blaming France for what was in fact their problem/their guilt. I do not see any reasons why this should be covered up.
“Our “inheritance” is from many peoples, sources and cultures.”
(alternative thought) Wait a second, you’re not saying France was actually the victim are you? Many peoples, sources and cultures forced slavery upon poor old France in French territories and actually, France is the victim! Yeah that’s what it is France is the victim.
Are you going there?
I’m just checking. Cause this would be a huge mistake.
