Another secret that no one ever wants to talk about is the fact that Indians bought slaves and fought for the South in the civil war.
I ran across this in a family history account of the Indian Territories(now Oklahoma). My Great(8)Grandfather was a US Marshall. He had arrested some of the Indians for theft, and they sent their slaves to kill him.

as for AIs keeping slaves, our people had done so for THOUSANDS of years.

"the peculiar institution" was NOT "a moral issue" for the vast majority of AIs (as it was NOT a "moral issue" for 95+% of other Americans!!!) in the 18th/19th centuries.

you really should go do some REAL research from the PRIME sources & stop reading SELF-serving/sanctimonious/SELF-righteous "fiction" from the REVISIONIST LEFT.
