Now you're just being silly. You probably need a friend or pen pal more than you have.

Glad we cleared the air about that one and can agree France was no victim.

Then.

No. Our “inheritance” was not 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.
