It's a no brainer recognizing how awful slavery was looking back, but during the 1700's the worldview was much different and you may not have looked at the same way as you do now from atop your perch of self righteous moral superiority.

I singled us out in that statement because two wrongs do not make a right.  And the same people who insists that God herself created America to be the greatest country ever also think we can lessen the events of the past because we didn't do it alone.  And also because this thread is currently talking about American slavery.


But yeah, respecting everyone's right to not be owned by someone else is definitely something that comes from my "self righteous moral superiority".
