Stunning statement there. My 6th GGrandfather, from Scotland, landed in Virginia on a ship in 1696 as an indentured servant, brokered by a known English slave trader. And he spent years in that capacity until the land owners death. For this I have official records. Should I be hounded by the race hustlers, ya think?

Don't take me literally here. I'm simply making a point. There should be no reparations of any kind.. Neither of us should be hounded by race hustlers
But as far as Civil War and slavery history I have little interest in it mostly because "my people" got here in 1900. I am interested in the American Revolution and colonial history but not slavery and the war of North and South
Now lets follow this further. Mexicans and Hispanics have even less sympathy or care about Blacks and their self references to slavery because 95% of Hispanics got here after WW2. This accounts in part for anti Black racism by Hispanics. They can't be guilt tripped. They just got here
How do you track stuff like that down? I have Scotch grandfather(greats) and wonder where they came from.
