At the time, many Indians were pretty much savages, killing each other in constant tribal wars, including women and children. It was a routine.
Most of the Africans brought here as slaves, sold by their own people, led a far better life than the one left behind. Contrary to what is emphasized as the rule, slaves were not treated badly anymore than hired hands, livestock, and equipment were mistreated. The investment of thousands of dollars was not something to be abused, which was the exception at the time.

I repeat that many times when I talk to my kids/grand-kids...times were different then. Culture, people and thoughts were different than they are now. This does not change the fact that the ideology behind our early documents - written by these geniuses - remains pure and should remain untouched.
