Has it occurred to you that I knew and didn't mention it because it didn't matter? That person falsely claimed that the U.S. ensured that former slaveowners "prospered". That is the claim I was disproving. Eradicating their "wealth" in human beings was part of destroying their wealth, a destruction that as I proved lasted for generations. It is richly just & ironic that much of that "wealth" was southerners unjustly enslaving others, but the overall point is the same. Their wealth was destroyed for generations.
