Slavery was foisted on the U.S.A. as a legacy of the European empires. The first slaves came a century before the U.S. was even created. The Northern half of the U.S. had no slavery, and that same northern half (which included a significant majority of the American population) put an end to slavery at a great cost of blood and treasure.
So unless you are asking me to apologize for my ancestors having fought and died in the Union Army, I’m not about to say I’m sorry for anything.
