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.
