I fall on the conservative side of the line, but re-imagining the Slave Trade as any thing other than what it was and attempting downplay it by co-mingling swapping sugar and Rum with Jamacia with kidnapping people from Africa into generations of bondage is reprehensible.

I do agree that characterizing Manifest Destiny as Imperialism has always been stupid.
