Slavery was legal>>
So was Genocide in Nazi Germany. And those who supported Genocide in Nazi Germany and those who perpetuated Slavery in the south were moral equals.
Your silence hereafter is expected.
The slaves in the South lived, which is more than can be said about the majority of people the Nazis sent to concentration camps. The slaves also were better fed than their cousins back in Africa (and better fed than many European peasants, which is why so many came over).
If there had been no slavery, their descendents would have still been in Africa, with all that implies, as there would have been no incentive to bring them over
Everybody on this forum is a descendent of slaves, if you look back far enough. As an Italian, I've probably got a lot of Roman slaves in my lineage. Plus peasants, throughout history, lived under conditions not much better than American slaves, and had as few rights as far as their Lords and Masters were concerned
In short, get over it.

Then Stuckart on the meaning of Law: "The Nuremberg Laws are very specific. ... I find the plan unworkable. I find the plan personally insulting in that I have given years to codifying the laws.... My work, these laws, any legal code worthy of the name restricts the enforcers of it as well as its subjects. There are some things you cannot do." Heydrich: "As you see it." Stuckart, lecturing: "To kill them casually without regard for the law, martyrs them which will be their victory. Sterilization recognizes them as a part of our species but prevents them from being a part of our race. They will disappear soon enough. And we will have acted in defense of our race and of our species and by the law." Then less: "I'm pointing out the difficulty of casting every Jew ... into the sausage machine, and if that's the plan, I'm asking that some legal framework be built." Kritzinger at one point in support: "He believes in the supremacy of law. ... You accept casually the obliteration of legal distinctions and the use of extreme, inconceivable measures. ... That is where we have come." Heydrich, exasperated: "I can't give a damn rule for everything."But all of this protest is posture. The proof lies not in their revealing themselves as cowards in collapsing before Heydrich's threats, but in their refusing to acknowledge that their National Socialist commitments -- to the Nuremberg Laws, to the Führer, to political millenarianism -- meant the death of law and of their professional commitments, save each as private conceit or else, as here, as public petulance. In this, by contrast, Heydrich is wise. To Kritzinger: "This is the moment to be practical until such time as Germany can afford your philosophy, which is what? Hound them, impoverish them, exploit them, imprison them, just do not kill them and you are God's noblest of men. I find that truly remarkable." To all a reminder of Führerprinzip: "I would like to remind all of you that our Führer enunciates the goal. Our task, to turn his vision to reality. We can debate the 'how'; we can debate the 'when' up to a point; we cannot debate the 'if'. ... His word is above all written law."
Genocide? I seem to remember that 13% of the population is Black. Wanna compare that to the Indians? You can't refute that Lincoln pissed on the Constitution and that Lee was defending it right or wrong!. Your ignorance is staggering! Go ahead change the subject now. No health care for slaves? Reperations? Stick to the original point and prove me wrong!
Your silence hereafter is expected."
Fool. Is that why Nazi war criminals were tried and convicted in a worldwide forum? You are an obvious rewriter of history. Go back to school.
But only in the black nation of Mauritania. Although they are a sovereign state, perhaps we should invade and annex them as the 51th state and abolish slavery for them.
