Answer:

It impacts American society in a profound and devastating way. Racism. African Americans are still discriminated against, beaten up, and unfairly treated due to the color of their skin. Slavery promoted the image of black people being less than whites- which has led to an entire array of horrible sentiments. Ever heard of Jim Crow laws? Segregation? Lynchings? Those were all impacts of slavery.
