        I think "helped" might be the wrong choice of words.

        Not sure if I'm more surprised that there are (a) people who don't know this, or (b) people offended that it was said.

        Slaves built everything that's been around that long. That's why when @GOP says "subgroups" did nothing it's insulting.

        We were all slaves to the Brit.Monarchy before that. A lot of (white) men, in blue, fought & died to free those slaves,didn't they?

        Slaves didn't "help". I'm sure they would have preferred not to.
