ORIGINAL: Cannonfodder Ooooo, modern day politics... Don't go that way guys, it will only end up locked however good the intention... Ok. If I can put some historical perspective on this: I am a first generation American. My ancestors did not come to the United States until after the mid 1950s. I was born in 1965. So from that perspective, none of us were here at the time of the Civil War, nor for most of the resulting follow on periods (Reconstruction, most of the civil rights struggles, etc). So, I can say that neither I, nor my ancestors, nor my descendants played any part in, nor bear any responsibility for those events that occurred before we set foot in the United States.
