How come nobody ever takes into account that a lot of white America can boast that they had thousands of their decendents also die to try to help free African-Americans from slavery. How come it never gets mentioned that they gave the ultimate sacrifice for people they probably never even knew ?

Hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of "white" lives were lost in the Civil War, on both sides. Hundred upon hundreds of thousands of "black" lives were dispossessed in the evil that is slavery. Both things are true. One does not negate the other. One does not diminish the other.
