""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.

“Facts are stubborn things”

Well you sure don’t seem to have any trouble shoving them aside.

You've a misplaced focus, trying to "prove" anything to a Leftist.

As to slave ownership, and the practice of slaving as operated by Portugal, the UK, the Dutch, every nation of which I am aware has had that practice on its soil throughout history. Of course Islam too is rife with it, as is modern slavery in Africa. Facts are indeed stubborn things.
