Slavery

Once every few years some group suggest that the decedents of slaves be compensated with a cash settlement. This has not been considered a credible request by most people. Could a reversal of this idea be palatable. The United States is the only nation that fought a civil war to rid the country of the practice of slavery. In the process 560,000 white Americans mostly of European descent were killed. Should black leaders of today take up a collection from the descendants of these freed slaves to reimburse the descendants of those who gave their lives to free their ancestors. That would be just as ridiculous as the first example. Holding someone responsible for actions that occurred over 150 years ago is nonsense. It is interesting that this idea has never been brought up.
