America's "Original Sin"

America's "original sin", so the saying goes, is slavery. Is there still any spiritual baggage remaining from that era of history? It's not just a question for the U.S., of course. Slavery didn't end in Britain until 1884.

Thoughts?

Slaughtering a large percentage of America's indigenous population from sea to shining sea all through the 1800's might just qualify as "spiritual baggage remaining from that era of history"
