WOW!!! You are insufferable. Yes I learned about slavery in school. They are actually now doing more to change the narrative of that terrible event, or remove it from a taught lesson. And to top it off, I am currently a Genealogist and Historian. So, I have studied slavery and studied the documents I'm quite sure much more than you have. You want to debate this with me? We can do it.
As bad as the morals of slavery were and are, I see how ethically and morally bad at every level this was than many just reading it out of a history book!!! This is a stain in our history, no doubt. But, as a genealogist, I see things maybe others fail to see. I see in the genealogical documents and stories of what those people in slavery had to overcome, what they had to endure. I see it!!! I get it!!! And I also see that many descendants fail to realize (and be thankful) what those people had to endure to get to the present. Many are much too worried about just complaining about the present time, and not be thankful what their ancestors had to go through, when it was their ancestors, and 650,000 (+) men who lost their lives, and paid a heavy price. Former First Lady Michelle Obama is a distant cousin of mine (7th cousin 2x removed), descending from my 6th great-grandfather Capt. Robert Smith. I put her line in my tree. I typed each generation, read (and saved) the stories, saw the documents, and kind of lived (in a way) the suffering and triumph of her ancestry, to make it to her accomplish that she has today. I would assume she knows her ancestry?
I mean, if want to talk about the history of slavery, the Portuguese, the Dutch, the Spanish, the English, West Africa and the Ivory Coast, etc., let's do it. There's a lot more history behind this than you might know!!!
