Interesting read...I wish the state and even the federal government would do more to recognize this important piece of U.S. History.
[quote]The only monument to this piece of state history is a steel marker a few miles outside Savannah, erected by the city and the Georgia Historical Society in 2007. The marker stands not at the actual site of the sale, which is now a lumber company next to an elementary school, but a quarter mile away in a tiny park. A person could visit Savannah’s main tourist district and never see the marker or hear the story behind it.

I am originally from Massachusetts. We had plenty of things to apologize for too.
It does not matter now, and it is not the result of anyone living now.
It is history. History is important to remember, so we can learn from it, and not repeat it.
History is also good n this way.
