Great essay Stanley. This reminds me of a paper from an International Relations journal which surveyed civil wars, sectarian conflicts and war crimes committed by one demographic against another - and found that, invariably, the cases where a meaningful peace was achieved all involved some form of Truth and Reconciliation-style reckoning between the groups
Great read. Especially after the news that some French politicians are considering repaying Haiti for its independence recognition payment.
Thanks for reading!
A lot of other countries also need to heal and provide reparations to countries and citizens they have wronged, and continue to harm.

So the U.S. can pay for reparations at this time????
It definitely can if it wanted to.
