Rewriting history again to support the politically correct agenda. This time to make the ancient Egypt black to 'prove' that black civilizations were as advanced as white. They were not.
Also, contrary to leftist lies, slavery was never legal in Canada. The few blacks who lived in pre-Canada were treated more like indentured servants and nothing like the brutal slave states in the Caribbean. White settlement was the best thing to happen to Canadian aboriginals and they were generally treated well by whites.
It was a very liberal idea in its time: educating 'savages' to become equal members of society. Elsewhere at the time, aboriginals were enslaved or simply killed. Today, leftists demonize the entire system because of current values and, of course, horrible problems with execution over the centuries. Having values of our era, I think they were a bad idea. However, any alternative would have resulted in equal problems.
The leftist approach of 'helping' people by teaching them that they are victims and encouraging hatred is a very bad idea.
