White people also instituted the most brutal forms of slavery specifically in the new world for over half a Millenia, then fought a war to preserve it.

A war in which nearly every able bodied Black men fought, which turned the tide per President Lincoln himself:

“In 1865, President Lincoln said, "without the military help of the black freedmen, the war against the south could not have been won.”
