The government ought to apologize for slavery. After all, it's the same government that facilitated slavery, it never fell to a revolution. And the economic effects of slavery are still obvious today. The average black family has around 1/6th the wealth of the average white family.
Slavery existed in the colonies prior to the forming of the USA, and while many saw it as a bad thing that had to be eliminated, they knew that it would take some time.
1/6? what study supports that? and whose fault is it?
