It’s easy to dismiss that which didn’t impact your families for generation. Maybe you can accept it. I refuse to.

When did I dismiss or accept slavery? Historians for decades have agreed (besides Ulrich Phillips, who was an actual racist) that slavery was intertwined into the US economy, especially post market rev (~1820s-40s) with cotton and textile mills, etc. Slavery wasn't even a thought in the 1700s, basically everyone accepted it like I said... I'm not accepting slavery as a good thing, just that history is multifaceted and rarely "this good this bad"
