While many white historians often praise the works of the “ great for-founders “ of america we often forget how america was founded and journey that  paved the way to get  where we are today . Ideally , those of many of the “enslaved peoples “ who are often overlooked are the same individuals who were put in fields to produce products that were profited to support the economic system that our “ great country “has today . To downplay thier historical influence is completely unacceptable and downright disgusting. Especially knowing that America’s Founding Father’s knew how essential African Slaves were to the new world .Their forced involved enslavement remained deeply embedded in the economic and social fabric of the nation. From the early colonial period through the 19th century, enslaved Africans were the backbone of the American economy. They worked on their hands and knees, toiling in fields, building infrastructure, and generating immense wealth that allowed the U.S. to rise as a global power. To call this monumental impact a “ shrine “ , is diminishing the physical, verbal, and psychological trauma an entire race of individuals have endured  .
