Let me be clear, without those black slaves, America doesn't exist.
A significant number of american families made their way here after the civil war. Precisely one of my grandparents is from a family that was here before the civil war, half my family came here after ww2..lol. That homestead act land would need to go back to the natives, though, I imagine. No sense robbing peter to pay paul if we're serious about it....which...ofc...we're not.
