There’s this mistaken impression many seem to have, that the southern United States somehow invented the African slave trade, uniquely participated in it and was the sole enforcer of the practice. Fact is, the entire country allowed it at one time, chattel slavery came to us in the colonial era prior to the existence of the United States and certainly prior to the very short existence of the Confederacy. It continued to exist well after the defeat of the Confederacy and still exists in the world. There’s not a one of us whose ancestors escaped slavery in one form or another, if you go back far enough in history. It just was, it was a legal status of certain people in society that had been accepted for thousands of years. So, maybe a little perspective is in order. This simplistic grunting out “north good, grunt, south bad” is embarrassing to FR.
I have no mistaken impressions, just know clearly the south did a lot of murder and harm to africans. That is my point. Admit it cleanse yourself and move on. Stop trying to give history lessons to a US history major
