Native americans had slaves? Do you have any references to put in perspective and counter right wing boot licking perspectives on this matter? Like the issue is feudalism and capitalism/imperialism at the core. Like the natives had conflict... possibly scalped a few but I think the right wing on behalf of their "Yes big daddy" capo corpo masters like to paint images of a past a skew.

It wasn't chattel slavery.

It certainly wasn't mass chattel slavery at a genocidal scale.

That is the big difference.

Also, Americans owned Indigenous/Native slaves, especially in California, even up to the Civil War.
