Florida has officially apologized to African-Americans for the brutality inflicted on Blacks during the slavery era.
In a resolution adopted on Wednesday the Floria Legislature expressed "profound regret for the shameful chapter in this states history". Florida has become the sixth state to offer an apology.
Florida had maintained a slave state from 1822 to 1865 when the 13th Amendment offically ended slavery.
Five other U.S. States have apologized for slavery since last year, including Alabama, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Virginia.
