New Jersey apologize for Slavery
New Jersey State regrets slavery
According the reports from the Associated press, the State of New Jersey recently signed a resolution stating there regrets for there hand in slavery. According to reports, New Jersey is one of the first states to openly apologize for being apart of slavery.
The assembly and legislature voted something like 29 to 2 to approve the resolution stating there regrets for slavery.
Are you wondering what the 2 that did not vote for this resolution was thinking. Well, the vote was to establish the resolution without requiring any other action by the government, so it is possible that the two that did not vote for the resolution wanted action to be taken by the government. Maybe, that is wishful thinking, but I’d like to think that those to that voted against the resolution had a bigger purpose in mind other then not wanting to apologize for such a awful time in history, as slavery.
