So let me get this straight, America fought for their rights, freedom and independence in 1776 and they first thing they did is slavery??

And trying to wipe out the indigenous people and taking land from Mexico and and nuking the Japan and desirable the middle East just for oil.

And now they are trying to relive the 1940s and ww2 .

Maybe the world would've been so much better if America never had their independence day.

It's not just America that had slavery of course. There were plenty of African kingdoms that had slaves too. Still, I get your point.

@Hopelandia of all people they should know the value of freedom

@TheBatQueen True, well they don't seem to now, do they. In fact you could argue they are willingly becoming slaves.

@Hopelandia The slave trade in Europe and the US was a far cry from what they used to do in Africa. Over there, they would keep slaves from neighboring countries they won wars against, but they would only keep them for a certain number of years, and they sure as hell didn't enslave their children. Just putting that out there.

@LordShadowfire Agreed. And if we went further back, the Romans' slaves were often treated very well.

@Hopelandia Sometimes. And sometimes not.
