My maternal grandfather grew up near Manchester and could go into that accent. Benny Hill and his shorter companion would go into that accent. I could actually understand it, even growing up in the States.
One reason that Britain sided with the Confederacy during the Civil War because it was the country's main source of cotton and would have damaged the economy if it could get that cotton across the Atlantic, which is why the Union blockaded the ports in the South.
Was the cotton entirely from the Southern United States pre-1861? I understood that both Egypt and India were also major suppliers of cotton fibre to the British marketplace.
Because you're only allowed to talk about one group of people's suffering, ever. There's only one Grand Tiara of Greatest Oppression, and if you aren't wearing it, STFU. Besides, you couldn't give a damn about the slaves, either.
Thank you.

The awful lives of the workers. Not forgetting the slaves that picked the cotton 🫤
