chosen: The United States is apologetic about slavery for the same reason that any country that has a difficult past is apologetic—because it is the right thing to do. Even though the US bought its slaves from African slavers, they did not make the selling of slaves acceptable or condone it. Unfortunately, the slave trade had been a part of world history and the US is no exception.
