My ancestors came here after the Civil War, so I guess I’m safe! Whew...glad I missed that!
No you are not safe, as you are presumed guilty. Be prepared to present your family tree, sort of like was required by Nazis to show one had no Jewish blood. Now we have to prove we are not descendants of slave-owners?? Most of us by large margins were not, as history proves. Even those who are descendants of slave owners are not guilty of what happened long before they were born. That would be an injustice, wouldn’t it? to ascribe guilt to a person innocent of any personal wrong-doing? or?
Mine also - and from Norway.
