I asked you a specific question and your replies had nothing to do with the question, and frankly, it's like you're speaking in riddles.

Chattel slavery is not a case of individual exploitation- it's a case of systemic exploitation, and therefore the solutions should be systemic.
Define systemic? Solutions should be not individual?

I'd suggest that your position is received, not deduced. Stop ignoring what happened postbellum. There were ex-slaves in Congress. Their descendants were doing pretty well, despite the [Democrat] KKK, until LBJ decided to 'help'.

The US benefited from the systemic exploitation of slaves....
Wrong. Slavery was a boat anchor on the economy. It didn't help.
