re: If you could change/prevent a single event in history, what would it be?

Without a doubt, I would prevent the import of slaves into America. America would be such a better place without this horrible chapter. If slaves had never been brought to America, racisim would be not exist and life would be so much better for all of us. If this were the case, the current African Americans would still be in Africa and would certainly be much happier. I would be happier for them as well. The world would certainly be a better place had slavery in America never existed.
