And just how do you calculate wealth that might have been passed down through multiple generations? What was the minimum wage in 1840?

You figure out the prevailing market wage at the time, you use a 40-hour work week, and you pay interest on the money.

You pay the descendents of slaves what they're owed first; you put the monies due slaves whose lines have ended into some sort of fund and apply it to something related to the idea that it's restitution for a national crime.

It's actually not difficult at all--high school level math and finance, so I'm surprised that a college man like yourself can't understand it.

How do you explain your inability to answer any of my questions in Post #16?

Or are you not a “details man”?

There was no market wage at the time. People worked for room and board on farms. Their income was derived from selling excess given to them by the owners. That's how slaves bought their freedom.
