So if a soldier is drafted, he is a hero, and this is viewed as a positive thing he is doing. Slavery allowed things to be built in this country that never wouldve been otherwise, but it isn't viewed in the same way of self sacrifice even though it was the same forced labor.
Not defending slavery, just pointing this out wondering.
In a time of great radical and political divide, people should be open minded that everything is not as it seems. Slaves have enough credit. The price and the chances their ansecstors faced getting segregation banned and black history month. That's enough recognition in my eyes. They won't forget where they've been and its just the beginning. And we can forgive and not forget and learn for the better.

I think one of the reasons slavery has such negative connotations in america is because of plantation slavery.
Slavery has always existed but plantation slavery was (not completely new) but relatively new and certainly on the scale it was.
Slaves throughout history were mostly still treated as humans, but plantation slavery changed that, they were seen solely as animals and in the case of the sugar plantations literally worked to death.
