The History of Slavery In America (part 1 of 3)

@roquemoz1 I am white and I do believe in A God he might not be the same as your god!, the reason I put my comment out there is because i utterly appose any form of slavery and it hurts me to watch what these people went thru…I was just pointing out that slavery was ripe in a pre scientific era when the Christian Church ruled the world and gave its blessing to slavery….Sometimes the truth hurts and thats why it unsettles some people!
