What if I said that you are likely to enslave someone because your ancestors owned slaves, or you were more likely to allow yourself to become a slave because your ancestors were slaves? Pretty crazy statement, isn't it?
And when my 3 X great-grandfather rode with the Texas Rangers out in Castroville and fought the Comanches in the 1840s-1850s, you would have had a harder sell on the merits of the noble Indians. You forget that people didn't live very long back then, because of disease or natural hazards or hostiles. I would wager the life expectancy for some settlers was lower than that of the Indians.

In those cases, "God" was replaced by "the state."how soon they forget all those great athiestic states of Soviet Union, China and Cuba, they've only killed about 100 million people.
