Bro, didn't I already inform you that it was the [7th President Andrew] Jacksonian Democrats who broke the treaties with the Indians and prevented the emancipation of the slaves? Don't blame America, blame the Democrats! Go read some accurate history books please!
Andrew Jackson appointed the SCOTUS Justices who gave us that horrible Dred Scott decision in 1857. It was the Democrats in Congress, both in the North and the South, that did all they could to prevent the emancipation of slaves. Hundreds of thousands of American WHITE men died in the Civil War to free these slaves.
America has NO REASON WHATSOEVER to apologize for her past, and today Americans have every right to boast in their heritage and their flag!
If you still have serious problems with any past Americans for their crimes, then get a court order, exhume their bodies, put them on trial, and sentence them.
Other than that, please stop condemning the church and every Christian, America and every American, for the sins and failures of certain individuals in the past!
