Try telling that to the Southern aristocrats who first wanted to ape feudal Europe by importing slaves they wouldn’t have to pay and then wanted to bring them in boatload after boatload. Ticks me off really. All of these idiots bring them in, then try to split the nation, then start a war as a result over it, so now we have to deal with the consequences of how to deal with their descendants. Oh, throw in the half a million dead and that was apparently all in vain because of these ingrates.

I guarantee you that when slavery was over the Africans in the Confederacy would have been repatriated back to their homeland.

Shame you weren't around back in 1789 so you could share your wisdom with George, Ben, Roger, James, Tom and Charles and the boys.

They'd have appreciated your prescience and help.
