Most sources I have seen say $30 million, which really does not seem like a lot. It probably was a lot for a people that 60 years earlier were slaves owning nothing.
We could take compound interest into account, rather than only inflation. But if we do, then the Indians who got $30 for Manhattan could buy all of New York, so it was actually a fair deal.
Yeah, I'm not surprised former slaves who build everything from scratch went "not today motherfuckers" and engaged in a pitched gun battle.
I'm still failing to see where even the black militiamen did anything wrong. Maybe shooting at the National Guard was a bad idea, but if you really think the white people have gone crazy and are trying to kill everyone, I'm not really gonna be surprised if you tell me that they shot at the National Guard.
Like, if you told me that Japanese citizens shot at US soldiers who were trying to intern them, my answer would be: "obviously".
