chosen: The U.S. is not apologetic about slavery, but does recognize its role in the practice and does educate the public on the history and consequences of slavery. While the U.S. did indeed purchase slaves from African slavers, the buyers and sellers of the slaves were both ultimately responsible for the practice. Therefore, the U.S. has apologized for its part in the institution of slavery and has taken steps to ensure that such oppression does not continue.
