Same here. I don’t know why I should have to pay “reparations” to the lying azzhos.
I believe there were a few people held as slaves under the Dutch and pre-1776 New Yorkers. Illinois was a NON-SLAVE state per the Northwest Ordinance under which it, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan were formed and entered statehood. There was NO slavery in California after it became a US territory after the Mexican War of 1846; however, I don’t know if the Spanish rulers of California had slaves pre-1846. If so, some of them were probably the American Indian tribes instead of or in addition to blacks from Africa.
