Black history is written and passed down by people who lived it. In the South there are many old plantations and auction blocks still on display.
I personally visited the plantation Booker T Washington grew up on. Slavery was real. Some slave owners were decent folk some were not
I am not ashamed of my ancestors struggles. American Black History is real and vivid and can be examined by any honest research.
To equate American slave experience to indentured servitude is intellectual dishonesty.
Slavery was not a Circus and toast experience for those
enduring it.
Your inlaws had a choice. Americans of all colors did Agricultural work and got paid in 1940s Americalav. They weren't. Owned and treated like property as Black slaves were pre Civil War.
Slaves were Owned for generations. Your in laws could leave the fields as they were just employees.
Slaves didn't have the option to leave.
That's the difference .
