Guiltyofbeingwhite, Plus your assertion about the incorrect assertion is correct. I'm disappointed in all the people disliking your comment........ Plus, don't feel guilty for being BORN white. You have no control over your heritage, nor are you responsible for what happened over 150 years ago.

slavery has never ended in the United States of America... It just EVOLVED into something different... but it still exist in so many ways

the 1/7 who said south are still in denial haha

chells, I disagree. My ancestors are German descent . They were poor immigrants who picked cotton for a living. They didn' t believe in slavery and fought on the Unions side during the war. They lived in the South. I believe back then if you were captured you were put to death because the south believed it was an act of treson. NOT all caucasions are to blame.

It is only known as “simply the Civil War” in the US. Many, many other countries have had their own civil wars, including my own. Some Americans need to realise that there’s a big wide world beyond their borders.

The portuguese are the ones actually responsible for the start of African slave being sold in the Americas in the the early 1500’s. However it is white men who purchased them. From Europe , Brazil and America. Just dispicable! The actual use of any kind of slave slave slave, black, white, yellow, brown any color has been around since 3500 bc. The ottoman empire had indentered slaves way before the african slave trade existed. So slaves and slave trade wasn’t a new concept it was a new people being used!

Player #244477, Not so much directed at you but at what point in a culture does a race of people evolve? Lately, it seems that on a daily basis, people want to bring up circumstances that were acceptable to society in the past and castigate people who engaged in ordinary practices. We've become a society of dinner pointers attempting to destroy anyone with whom we disagree. How about we move on instead of closing to relive old wounds.

Bloodiest war in American history.

While, I don’t know the whole history of slavery, I do know that it’s horrible to treat another as inferior based on the color of her/his skin, gender, sexual orientation, religion or anything else for that matter. I believe if we treat each other the way we want to be treated then life is better for everyone.

The US has not evolved in over 159 years. They are literally still fighting their civil war, as you can see here.

The Civil War was actually about state rights versus government rights. Most of the Southern states believed they had the right to own slaves per the laws of their own individual state. They did not want the federal government to have the ability to come in and tell them how to run their state according to what one small group of officials decided was best. This was not even a new concept - 75 years before the famous Thomas Jefferson had fought for the idea of state autonomy when our founding fathers were forming the government of a brand new country.

I chose wild Wild West lol

Chris, God himself created slavery and gave rules for it. Reading the book of Genesis can be a start.

NYRUDEDOG, It did not say the "race of people" evolved, it was referring to the act of slavery.

Player #244477, my people didn't arrive here in till the early 1900 50 years after slavery was abolished we had nothing to do with it and I feel no shame being white

Laykan122088, I grew up in Pennsylvania and was shocked when I moved to Florida. Our HOA had to issue a new neighborhood regulation prohibiting the flying of the Confederate flag. They refuse to believe that the Civil War was fought because of slavery.
myself
Ttulip12, Sorry, but it was almost exclusively jewish merchants who bought slaves. They are not white, and enjoy casting their blame onto Whites to this very day for a myriad of their own sins

BronzeCrystal23, but most of south people were cruel and selfish.....

People... as abhorrent as slavery is, and it is 100% abhorrent, the American Cival War was NOT about the right of human beings to own each other. That is self-evident. The issue at hand was: could the individual states separate themselves from the federal government, in other words, states' rights, whenever they disagreed. If that had been allowed to happen, this would be a different country(s) indeed.

Ttulip12, Portugese are White Europeans. Portugal is located on the Iberian Penensula.

I live in the south and I know the north won lol 😂 actually live by Charleston, SC where the war started
Tony
Sonya, They were treated horribly. It is the most shameful practice in our history.
Second to that is the way white man treated the native Americans. Case in point, the Trail of Tears.
Tony
Ttulip12, First, let me state categorically that I am against slavery in any form. You've heard of "white slavery" meaning captured and sold for sex. Horrible.
Yes, white southerners paid money for black people to work their fields as a way to compete with the north which had ALL of the steel and manufacturing plants.
But WHO sold the slaves? The men in the slave trade didn't go out to gather a bunch. Already done.

Happened since 158 or 159 years ago

Inass Announi, the union was leveraging tariffs to their benefit and at the souths expense, as most of the political power and rich industrialists lived in the north east. 75-85% of the federal income was paid by southerners. during the war, particularly "Sherman's march" they went about razzing and burning everything to do just that, to destroy for a long time the infrastructure of southern society.

CanMan, slavery wasn't a crime, (obviously as it had existed for 200 years or so in America) the emancipation proclamation, ratified in 1863, written as a political strategy to keep britian-france from coming to defend the rightful confederacy, did absolutely nothing at the time (as the south wasnt in the union) and agreed that Maryland could still keep slaves..

given the situation of race relations ATM in the usa, did anyone?
