We've always been "unique" compared to other states. I've been reading a load of "historical fiction" via books on tape during my hikes during COVID shutdowns. Some about the Viking vs Saxon wars in the late 800s, an account of Alexander the Great's life told in his own words and one other. They ALL took slaves. Native Americans took slaves too even when they were fighting European invaders. I've read slavery is STILL a problem in many parts of the world, especially China and Africa. I wish more was "taught" about this so we can celebrate how much better we were than in our past, a past that many of us never benefited from as our own families faced hatred for speaking a different language, eating different food and having different traditions than the dominant US culture. It used to be a good thing to assimilate and add to the culture as a whole (French Bread, Pizza, Chinese Moon Cake and noodles, etc.) but we've seemed to have lost that.
