Slavery

The institution of slavery is one of the worst blemishes on the face of American history. At the time of our American Civil War, most of the world had already abandoned this inhumane practice due to realizing the wrongs that are associated with it... for the most part. After careful consideration I have mad a connection with the institution of Slavery in the United States and the Holocaust in Nazi Germany.

Slavery and the Holocaust were both situations were extreme racism made a particular race feel that they are naturally superior to the other. The case with slavery being African Americans and with the Holocaust being Jews, and other groups of people. Forced labor and brutality in the form of whipping and beating were both common to these institutions.

Now a question I pose is, how is it possible, at the time of the Holocaust; when Slavery is banned in the United States but racism is still very prevalent, that the United States did not draw this same parallel? And, if they did, why was nothing done to make amends for their actions?
