Laughed my a$$ off when she said that the families of the sailors who died trying to stop slavery should be given reparations as well. Lemon didn’t have a response for THAT. That’s a good perspective. Should the families of Union soldiers who died during the Civil War receive reparations as well?

They did, in the form of pensions paid to the veterans, their widows and children. At least one such pension was still being paid as of mid 2020 to the surviving child of a Union Army veteran.
