---- "The colony is the parent country's responsibility and the parent country's guilt and in this instance, Louisiana was of France. That is where the pre-purchase guilt resides."

You're barking up a wrongly-Grok'd tree.

You do know that France of the Bourbon monarchy is not the same country as the current and FIFTH republic which began in the 1950s..... Or you don't. And that House of Bourbon currently is represented by Madrid-born Louis Alphonse, Duke of Anjou, who would -- but just plain won't -- be Louis XX if they ever regained the monarchy of France as under the earlier and very long-dead Bourbons.

"Pre-purchase guilt?" Wow. Like "actionable history?" Who you gonna sue?

Here's a thought: use your favorite search engine to find uses of your phrase, "actionable history." It would be interesting. Maybe ask Grok.

""Pre-purchase guilt?" Wow. Like "actionable history?""

Yes, very actionable. Since there is no way to blame conservatives for what France was doing(and others have brought up Spain, G. Br.) it is a safe counter-point to The 1619 Project to highlight that slavery was their fault, not our fault.

Simple. True.

Europe is guilty, guilty, guilty. Facts are stubborn things.
