Do you think Democrats ever felt guilty about owning slaves?

If your great uncle robbed a bank, would you feel guilty? Would you pay the money back to the bank's successor bank today? How far back do you consider to be relevant? If a distant ancestor held slaves in Rome, is that relevant?[Disclosure: A possible distant relative (connection uncertain) may have owned slaves.] The implied but unstated premise of the question is that I should feel guilty over the negative actions of others, a premise I deny as absurd.

Did the Dems of the time feel guilty?

I didn't think I would have to dumb this down for you guys, but I was wrong.

@Humanist321 Spoken like a true liberal / socialist with their head up their ass. Your kind support slaves in China and those coming across the border illegally.

@Humanist321 This post is a good argument against paying reparations.
