Cape May - The California reparations situation boiled over with people screaming at the board that they wanted a million dollars each. I’m not sure why, but in my opinion I don’t think it was a good idea to tell people that they will get millions then back off from it when it’s now apparently payday.
My ancestors were Eastern European peasants until 1906 when they arrived in the US. My family did not own slaves.
Furthermore, the Union suffered ~828,000 casualties, or near 3% of total US population (1860 census) fighting to free slaves. That's reparations enough.
