Alright, that I respect, I just didn't want to drag all the discussion that can spawn from someone talking about slavery into this discussion.
In regards to that however, no person or people are, have been, or will ever be perfect. It was what went on at the time. I'm sure in later generations people will look back on some of the things we have done with similar attitudes as you do with slavery. I think it was a horrible practice as well and I in no way condone it, but regardless of that I would like to think that Americans still hold them in high regard for the services they have rendered to us. They weren't perfect, but neither are you or I.
