So what was the point of this post? To be technical here, they never actually "trafficked in slavery". What they did was allow for "property" as defined by the government to be used as collateral. Additionally it wasn't even J.P. Morgan, it was a company they purchased years later. If we want to find fault, maybe we should hunt down the direct descendants of the Banks Manager at the time. I don't think that stockholders today should be made to pay for slavery. Of course this goes into the whole reperations issue which is an entirely different thread altogether.
