"The Problem of Slavery in the Age of Emancipation"

[L Verge]

So true, Eva, and yet so many (mainly Americans, I believe) continue to point fingers at just the southern colonies/states of the U.S. as being the evil slave masters. The history of the world often revolved around enslavement of many cultures and races -- and in some instances still does. To me, this is another case of needing to learn from the past and work to change things in the present and future -- instead of condemning the dead.
