82 There was in a city a judge which feared not God, neither regarded man.
83 And there was a widow in that city, and she came unto him, saying: Avenge me of mine adversary.
84 And he would not for a while, but afterward he said within himself: Though I fear not God, nor regard man, yet because this widow troubleth me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
So there was some good in the man...
85 Thus will I liken the children of Zion.
86 Let them importune at the feet of the judge;
87 And if he heed them not, let them importune at the feet of the governor;
88 And if the governor heed them not, let them importune at the feet of the president;
89 And if the president heed them not, then will the Lord arise and come forth out of his hiding place, and in his fury vex the nation;
I think the people eventually got an apology, but it would seem to me that it's not enough. There were no reparations or anything. Doesn't seem fair. Those people went through horrendous times. It's a good thing the apology happened though or the nation would have been vexed.

Chris said that the civil war happened soon after and that may have been the vexing.
He also said that he thinks it was the governor apologizing about 100 years later...
