Ironic coming from aljazeera. Wonder what the Qatari government thinks of reparations, they did use slavery to build the FIFA World Cup stadium.
Also, is CA ok? Did they ever even have slavery there?
Officially, slavery was banned by the new state government, but multiple incidents of slaveowners bringing their captives with them during the Gold Rush, as well as those captives suing for freedom in California courts, are documented.
