Daniel Boone was a slave holder.

“Matt, you apologize profusely for not discovering that Daniel Boone was a slave holder in the earlier episodes, and admit that it really lowers your opinion of him now that you know about it, but you never apologize for not mentioning that the Shawnee Indians were also slave holders, as were many Native tribes that we know of in those days. It is irrefutable that Natives throughout the Americas captured other Natives as slaves, they also captured whites, and even increased their holdings of African-American slaves in the 1800’s. While sanctioned slavery ended in the United States after the Civil War, native tribes were not bound to the new laws and some undoubtedly held slaves for many more years.
Slavery is NEVER okay in ANY culture, so why do we, as historians, act as though it is unforgivable for some, but take a forgive and forget attitude with others?
I just shook my head when I read that article about the statue of the Civil War general that was torn down because he represented a culture of slavery, and then discovered that they planned to replace it with a statue of Pocahontas.”
