Yes and interestingly those slaves were White. There are a lot of shortcuts taken in the Western world right now such as amalgamation of slavery with Black people. Moreover, slavery was abolished more than 150 years ago, which mean it has been abolished for more than half the existence of the United States... that’s quite a lot of generations ago. All of these sterile polemics are created by a certain political group for their political gain, they don’t even care about the people they are using in their narrative.
As a racial and religious minority myself I would find totally laughable if a local political party were to use the persecution of people of the same religion and the killings of people of my ethnicity centuries before to justify changing the language, especially the speciality language of a narrow field.

Yet we have so many people today celebrating the ideas, symbols and folks that were involved in a war to keep owning slaves. Many of the statues have been erected closer to today than the war.
