Very well stated. Several generations of American statesmen, many of them slave owners, recognized the “peculiar” institution as America’s original sin. That sin was repented in an ocean of blood. One hundred and fifty years after the conclusion of that war, in which my great grandfather fought, we should be able to honor every American on both sides.

Yeah.

But the Democrats screwed it up their Jim Crow and other nonsense.

We are now more than ever feeling the effects of that sin.
