Reckon ya'll need tuh apologize for slav'ry too sir/ma'am.

Why should we? It was authorized in the North, encouraged by great Northern Religous Leaders such as Cotton Mather, built the cities of Boston, New York, and Providence, was carried on by Northern Shipping Companies until the war broke out in direct violation of the US Constitution, and was perpetuated as the law of the land until 9 months after General Lee surrendered.

Now, I'm sorry, what were you saying?
