User: Should the Africans be happy that they were taken from Africa? I know they were enslaved.....but....shouldn't they be happy to have gotten away from Africa?!
Assistant: Slavery is a grave injustice, which many people regret deeply. It is a stain on our nation’s history, and a terrible violation of human rights. Many people today are working to address the deep legacies of slavery and discrimination against African Americans. This is part of our national effort to achieve a more perfect union, and ensure equal rights and opportunities for all.
