Oh and the question of what would have happened if the South had won, who knows, we may be speaking German or Japanese these days. Just my opinion.
In my mind it is time to let the past be the past, we don't owe anybody anything for what decisions our ancestors made back in that time. The issue of slavery is now just being used to create sympathy and attention for those that refuse to get out their and overcome the odds and the circumstance that they find themselves in. Those that refuse to rise above the situation and make life better for themselves. Those that are looking to cash in on the suffering of their ancestors.
I will not be one of those that will be apologizing for my ancestry or skin color anytime soon, what my ancestors did is what they did, and in no way shape or form will I be held accountable for their actions or beliefs.
