What "practices"? If you're going to say "slavery", then since it was practiced throughout the whole of the country until the mid-19th century, you'd have no moral basis for your position.
The first colony to legalize slavery was Massachusetts, the first state to pass a law outlawing free blacks residency within it's borders was Massachusetts followed by several of the other New England states, then states in the mid-west and west, and the last state to give up slavery was New Jersey. The state of New York had lawful slavery until 1850.
Really, JCF, you've got a lot of learning to do, I'd suggest you acquire the books I've mentioned, and get back to me when you've finished.
