| Richard, as ever its not too helpful to be drawn into tangential discussions. Many seem to think it would be good to actually teach our children about the actual history of this country, particularly the colonial periods (good and bad) and to understand the context and societal attitudes at the time. That may then help to frame the answer to your question. Many people did own slaves in that period, but generally the wealthy minority. Most people, lets not forget, were too poor themselves to own anythign much at all... |
