edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting

feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

~~Not even true lol~~ (You were alive immediately after the civil war wow!) Yeah and sadly slave owners literally received reparations when there should have been Nurembergs.

Thafuq are you on? Their "crimes" were downplayed and hardly anyone was executed for the endless list of subhuman behavior they only too gleefully perpetrated.

i guess maybe you were meaning “that’s what we did” as advocating for slaveholder punishment where i interpreted it as actually doing it

Whose crimes were downplayed?

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 1 points 54 minutes ago

Slaveholders’ crimes were downplayed and the history of the Confederacy rewritten to appear noble and unrelated to slavery. Some slaveholders were even compensated financially for the freeing of their slaves, while no freed people were compensated, ever.
