    slavery was a terrible chapter in the history of this country, and those that suffered under that institution deserve better than to have their suffering minimized and their owners glorified...

    Agreed. That part about the Indians made me laugh. Those people must have selective memory, since they are trying to revise history.

    Yes, slavery (African-based) was a terrible chapter in the history of the US....but it was also a terrible chapter in European history as well....and a terrible chapter in Middle Eastern history as many Arabic tribes continued the practice of raiding Africa for slaves into the 20th century.
