To write off history due to the presence of slaves would have you writing off a lot of history.
Discussion
All of it
Including the history being written today.
Slaves always have and will be
What do you mean by writing off?
Ignoring the character and lessons of societies which happen to have had slavery as part of them.
Understood... As well, our history seems to be as fake as the money... There is good indication the slavery narrative is quite different than we were taught... A lot happened in the 1800's which is not taught in government indoctrination facilities...
Voluntary and involuntary
Very hard to say if civilization is possible to build without slavery. We won't ever know.
If one wants to visit places of southern history where to go? I'd like to refresh my forgotten memories.
