• Atlantic Slave Trade was an evil and cruel entity. It devastated and exploited many lands such as Africa. African people were enslaved and treated less than human.  Africans were bought and sold as a piece of property.  They were intimidated, whipped and killed all in the name of God.  the Europeans misused Christianity for their own selfish gain and profit.  
• They used what philosophers called the Divine Command Theory.  The theory states that it "is a meta ethical theory proposes that an action's status as morally good is equivalent to whatever it is commanded by God.  The theory asserts that what is normal is determined by whatever God commands and that to be normal is to follow the commands,"( www.wikipedia.com). The people brain washed and whipped and beaten into submission in efforts to advance what is known today as the United states and without enough recognition. It is very sad that our country was built on the very backs of those the Europeans despise. And although they have been freed African Americans, Native Americans and Asian Americans continue to be used and mistreated still today. 
•  The economy thrives on sweat shops in other countries it's just another form of cheap manual labor mostly from the Asian Continent
• The Native Americans at least were given some form of a reparation when they were given their Indian Reservations which are restricted in some ways from law 
• The African American although free still face discrimination, prejudice and racism in several forms 
• The United States like most countries are only going to admit to fault and beg their pardon if the group of people live in a country that harbors a natural resource hat we use daily and that we import to keep our economy running
