The Confederate Flag, The Trail of Tears, America's Ugly Past

The truth is America does have an ugly past because of the British colonist who brought slavery to this nation right from the very beginning. But they took most of the slaves to the sugar cane plantation on the British Island sugar cane plantations. America also has a much uglier past due to the "Trail of Tears" https://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/Indian.html caused by Andrew Jackson when he displaced thousands of Indians from Florida causing many of them to die on the long foot and wagon journey from the South East to Oklahoma. And as my favorite little you tuber "Patty Politics" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFFLQ9w1f8o says-- that the Confederate flag had nothing to do with slavery. #ConfederateFlat #PattyPolitics #DylannRoof #SC #Slavery #TrailofTears People change and Nations change too. If we condemn everyone and every nation of their past then you would condemn me because of my past and you would condemn Germany because of their past. But now, Germany is a great ally with the United States of America. And Japan once bombed Hawaii but we are no longer at war with Japan. We must learn to forgive our pasts and become better than we were before as people and as a nation. Listen to the truth tellers like Patty Politics who says that the Confederate flag had nothing to do with slavery.
