I told some idiot who claimed our Founders were racist “You know America inherited slavery from England and Spain - because it was a practice forced on us when we were colonies. Our founders didn’t start slavery. In fact, they set us on the path to end slavery. As a direct result of their actions, slavery existed in Independent America for just 75 years. (1787 - 1862)
Compare that to English/Spanish rule of 261 years of slavery. (1526 to 1787.)
