Isn't there a saying, "No good deed goes unpunished."
The slave owners spent a lot of money buying slaves. The slaves had food and housing, back in Africa them had only coconut leaves.
And, how were the slave owners rewarded? Many slaves "stole themselves" by running away. Then, liberal Lincoln set them free without any compensation to the owners.
It's an injustice that has never been resolved. There must be descendants of slave owners who are owed millions in lost assets and the accumulated interest.
