The Effect of An Apology

What effect would an apology have on this situation?  Absolutely nothing.  The time has come and gone and the Civil War and loss of more lives than in Vietnam, should have shone the world that we, as the United States, are sorry for our institution of slavery.  If the United States apologized for slavery, would the Chinese and the Japanese have to apologize to each other?  Would the ancestors of the Jewish Community want an apology from Egypt?  Would we have to apologize to Africa as well?  The idea of an apology only makes the matter deeper and much more unnecessary in this time period.  In addition, the truly sad and disgusting part about the idea of an apology for slavery, made by the radical lefts such as Jesse and Al, is the fact that they don't even care about the apology.  In fact, their agenda is not to push for reprimands and an apology; but to force this topic and issue so much for the purpose of being able to play the race card once again and show the world how bad "whitey" was and continues to be.    

Apology Topic

My incident in question that "involves" an apology is the topic of slavery.  In this current day and age, all of the radical left African Americans, such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, all are still highly involved in the topic of slavery.  How are they involved?  They are insisting that the United States apologizes for instituting slavery.  Why?  Just another way for the liberals to feed their agenda and pull the race card out once again.  Were the hundreds of thousands of lives lost during the Civil War not enough for our wrong doing?  Was the battle at Gettysburg, still to this the day the highest causality battle fought on U.S. soil, not enough to reprimand our wrong doing?  According to the radical left, it is not.  The comical issue about this argument is the general public never hears about a large portion of the "slaves" that were treated as if they were part of the family.  The slaves ate at the same table, were educated in reading and writing, had free time, had a salary, and respected their "owners" immensely.  Don't believe me?  This issue will be covered in my paper and I will use examples of famous Americans, such as a few of our Founding Fathers, to dispute the radical left's agenda of saying that all the slaves were treated terribly.  I am very excited for this paper and cannot wait to start researching the topic more.
