Only one in four southerners owned slaves. The others resented slave owners getting rich off slave labor. Slavery ended one hundred and fifty five years ago. Nobody has been a slave or slave owner for generations. It is used as an excuse for hate and poor behavior. I read slavery was practiced among African tribes. One tribe would take members of other tribes as slaves and even capture them for the slave market. It made me wonder how slavery got started in America. Correct me if what I read is not true. If it is true, who is going to pay whom reparations?6
