We? What...did you have access to some time machine? How many slaves exactly did you own? Or was it your neighbors that owned them that you didnt speak out loudly enough against?
Look...people all across the world...not just this country were speaking out against slavery and promoting change. The 'peculiar institution' was under attack by society and growth. History proves that to be correct. The total historical perspective of slavery including its origins and where it is being practiced STILL should be taught.
Which has nothing to do with what we did. We did in fact have slavery. And civil rights is less than 100 years old here. We can't pretend such has not be the case.
