Slavery in America

Slavery is never a good thing.  I think that slavery has made America look bad.  Slavery also contributed to racism and the belief that a race is superior to another.  Slavery was also the spark of the Civil War in America.  People are still racist in society today.  I've watch on the news recently that a cop shot a black man and everyone thinks its racist and because he's black.  America will carry a bad connotation for the rest of history.
