So why is it important to revisit this history now, nearly 150 years after slavery ended? (2 little old ladies back to back Jenn) If slavery was outside of US history, for instance -- if indeed it was a drag and not a rocket booster to American economic growth -- then slavery was not implicated in US growth, success, power and wealth, Baptist writes. Therefore none of the massive quantities of wealth and treasure piled by that economic growth is owed to African Americans. It seems pretty crystal clear that the reverse is true, and Ta-Nehisi Coates case for reparations is a damn good one.
