AP sees US as founded by ‘Slaveholders’

“A jubilant crowd of more than a million waited for hours in frigid temperatures to witness the moment as a young black man with a foreign-sounding name took command of a nation founded by slaveholders”

This debt for slavery was paid with the Civil War.
Slavery was a world wide phenomenon & in many areas still exists.
England does not suffer collective guilt because they used their slaves in the New World.
I have said this before , there are grave yards around me with the bodies of young farm boys who fought with Sherman to end slavery.
Enough, we have done over 40 years of massive spending on social programs to continue to pay off this debt with little return on investment.
