I'm sure there are some traceable descendants, but any effort to figure out realistic numbers is futile. So many people have come into the country since then, and marriages across succeeding generations likely results in today's population having miniscule percentages of slave lineage. The greatest majority of the population have no traceable roots to that era, either as slave owners, or even as residents of the country. Do you think people who may have had ancestors that died fighting against slavery should bear any financial responsibility. Dream on. Do we owe money to any of the other groups who suffered under racial and ethnic discrimination they endured? |
