So, it's all about your feelings? That's just nuts. We should feel bad about what happened here. Who thinks that slavery only happened in the US? What happened here had a direct impact on the slaves here, and their descendants with resulting repercussions that are still evident today. What happened somewhere else doesn't absolve the US for what we did as a country and doesn't minimize the harm done here. Only a childishly blithering idiot would possibly think it could.It doesn't, but it's interesting to note that when you see the various presentations of authors, groups, politicians etc, you always come away feeling like the U.S. are the only ones guilty of the practice of slavery. It's not until you dig down that you discover that the U.S. played a minor role WHEN YOU COMPARE what went on south of our border.
