Also, when the British were not in charge of their newly independent American colonies, which were structurally dependent on slave trade, the British decided to harm them by banning slave trade while the Cast system in the Indian colony was still preserved, hypocritically.
Such a wonderful discussion and how articulately presented...wow 💯👌🏽
Look up the slave compensation, the UK government borrowed money (paid off in full finally in 2004?) to compensate the slave owners, some of who's family members sit in UK parliament today, the slaves got nothing.
Who would have thought systemic violence has price tag. Who wants to be the person to discover that keeping organized military operaions running to constantly oppress people would actually be expensive. Some please send this to every single gov official in USA, this the reason why they meed so much money to run their military.
Not the late 1800s, 1833
There was significant Muslim (Arab, Turkish, African) slave trade before and overlapping with Western slave trade. So it is not surprising indeed that the idea of abolition would come to an African Muslim, all the more so if they happened to be living under French colonial rule in Senegal
This very much ignores every other nation and gets wrong the idea that Britain was the biggest slave running nation. In Brazil alone there were 4 million slaves. That’s 35.3% of all slaves from the Atlantic slave trade. Now, there comes the far bigger issue which is constantly ignored. Instead of acknowledging the mass slavery around the world for thousands of years, people want apologies from everyone alive today, yet they don’t point out that there are more people enslaved today than at any point in history. We cannot right the wrongs of the past, but we can spend more time and effort trying to rid today’s world of it. That’s where our focus should be.
Haiti abolished slavery during its revolution at least 30 years before the UK ...
I love you Butch Ware❤ Aotearoa NZ
The USA was late to abolish slavery and still has major race issues today.
The industrial revolution also helped.
Thank you for the knowledge
Rudolph Ware❤️📢
It would be amazing to have Butch Ware as Govenour of California,- a brilliant scholar of colonialism and empire!
Assimilation never happened. Still partialism, Crown Holder of England with loyal knights, bishops advisors. Nothing new. No surprise. Nothing has changed
Butch Ware for President❤
How much did he get wrong is more than either is willing to admit.
Okay I think 'largest and most brutal slave trade in Human history' is a bit much. I think that goes to the Romans actually.
Young man, go and study the irish conquest and the first slaves in america; then go and study cecil rhodes and the boer war, then you go and study the indenture servants created by the indian company.
