Ok. They were slave owners, let’s just accept that and I am betting their slaves were treated pretty damn well, as many, many slaves were. So just get over it, move on and stop being slaves to a tired narrative but most of all stop being slaves to the marxists who are enslaving you to radicalism.
I may have a different perspective on the slaves. The freed slaves were given the right to stay in the U.S.or return to Africa? which did they choose? Simple question. Did your ancestors choose to stay? After the war many of them did go back, but the majority did not. So, they chose to stay. Don’t blame us. I’m pretty sure the offer still stands.
