I am English and I am sick of being made to feel guilty about our 'past' we have done so much good for the world, it's about time we received the praise we deserve!
It certainly is! They people seem to forget that black people sold their own people to the slavers. How do they think they got them on the ship. They had them tied up and waiting to go. Nigeria had a huge slave trade. Give us a break. In Ireland illegals protested they should be allowed to stay in Ireland because there were Irish illegals in America. Bloody cheek! but they got an amnesty.
British colonialism caused at least 100 million deaths in India in roughly 40 years, according to an academic study.
And during nearly 200 years of colonialism, the British empire stole at least $45 trillion in wealth from India, a prominent economist has calculated.
“This figure is larger than the combined number of deaths from both World Wars, including the Nazi holocaust,” they noted.
This staggering figure does not include the tens of millions more Indians who died in human-made famines that were caused by the British empire.
In the notorious Bengal famine in 1943, an estimated 3 million Indians starved to death, while the British government exported food and banned grain imports.
Academic studies by scientists found that the 1943 Bengal famine was not a result of natural causes; it was the product of the policies of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Enough praise?
@@b_bobsch6785 Not clear what your nationality is therefore unable to ask you specific questions.
I am of Greek/Russian heritage and history education taught me what greedy power hungry evil humans can do. There isn’t one race that hasn’t been affected by these evil wanna be Gods. So in retrospect, everybody deserves reparations.
Perhaps this is why India cannot be bullied by the gang in Brussels and the demons from the deep state and are supporting Russia (and in doing so honouring their friendship) in this existential civilizational battle.
I hold no malice to the ancestors of those that brought death and destruction to my ancestors. Your argument perpetuates hatred and supports the cycle of destruction.
And yes the Victorian age (from the Brits) modernized the world.
@@b_bobsch6785 And there is over 100 million Africans currently alive today because of the anti-viral Aids & HIV drugs that were developed in & then provided by England & America.
The way you talk anyone would think that millions upon millions of people weren't regularly dying from things like famine & war in these countries long before the British arrived. And are still doing so to this very day.
@@b_bobsch6785 "According to an academic study"..??? This study wasn't carried out by a bunch of far Left researchers by any chance?

We've never had slavery (except The Romans). This is how comes we have such a huge empire. Edward I invented handwriting about 800 years ago instead.
Is this part of The Annual Republican Killing British Season?
Man are we Brits going to make The US suffer for this.
I am a proud Brit. For a small country we have achieved so much. Our contribution to ending the global slave trade is one of our greatest achievements
Denmark abolished slavetrade in 1792. Britain is stealing other's glory.
Pakistan didn't abolish slavery until 1992. Still have an estimate of 2.1 modern slaves. No one shouting from the rooftops about that
I think it's because most people view the middle east as a lost cause sadly with obsticles of religion, politics and many more things besides. The UAE is just as bad, Saudi Arabia is Saudi Arabia. The biggest joke is that Saudi Arabia is the head of the human rights council and on the womens rights council in the United Nations.
Am so glad you mentioned this!
NEITHER DID MOROCCO THE SULTAN REFUSED
Slavery is part of Islamic law and always will be. No Islamic nation ever abolished slavery without Western influence and there was no Islamic abolition movement.
If it wasn't for the West some Islamic countries would open up slave markets tomorrow.
Notice how most of the last nations to abolish slavery are Muslim ones from Africa & Asia...
British taxpayers only finished off paying taxes towards loans incurred to end slavery in 2015.Perhaps we should ask for reparations from Africa.
yep but the truth is never talked about
Nah don’t think so I’m British and pay tax and I’m happy we did cause what we did before we had someone with a soul ordered it to be stopped and it could of been paid by other taxes it’s not only people tax they get their are big companies that pay tax too !!!
Yes, and the Muslim slave traders who stole whole villages from the British coastline.
Reparations that were paid to slave owners not to slaves !

My Great great great grandfather served aboard an anti-slavery ship, on his death bed he was reported as saying that he hoped God recognized his efforts to free the slaves and that it was his honor to be a part of it.
I don't personally believe people go to heaven, however I do believe Jesus will return - 'thy kingdom come, thy will be done ON EARTH....' (the Lord's prayer). At that time I hope your great great great grandfather will receive his reward!

The first black slaves who were free was quite before that. It was in 1734, in the Spanish territories in América. The black slaves in the English 13 colonies would escape from the British to Florida to be free under the Spanish.
Learn about FORT MOSE , Florida. Every year black people commemorate they were free under Spain.
@@AJ10634 And slaves were freed in Britain long before 1734, learn about English history and how English air was too pure to be breathed by slaves so no slave could be kept in England resulting in several thousand being freed, was around the 10th century.
@@bigboysfun7253 are you talking about the British, the biggest black slave traders in history? The ones who were the black slavery monopoly power for centuries? The british who ensalved the Irish people?
The British Who had the APARTHEID in South África until 1992?
What a joke, Bro. Who are you trying to lie? 😂🤣
"A slave becomes free the moment he sets foot on English soil" ...that's a hell of a line, dang.
HAHAHA, One hell of a bullshit line. First off, the ONLY reason Brits claim to have "ended slavery" was because of greed, not because of some humanitarian effort. The Brits were the driving force behind starting the Trans Atlantic slave trade, and profited greatly from it, and when my cunt of a country, were colonies and then told ya'll to bugger off we're making our own racist country, we started making bank from all the free labor on our cotton and tobacco farms. Who did what first though? The U.S. abolished the use of the slave trade a month before the Brits did in 1807, but from 1791 to 1807 the Brits made over 1500 trips to the African coast obtaining and selling over 650k slaves.
Don't worry, my country didn't do it for moral reasons either, they had imported so many slaves by then, we didn't need anymore imported. You think the middle passage stories are gut wrenching, there's a gruesome but well written book by Sowande' M. Mustakeem, a college professor from my home town of St. Louis, that also rights about why the U.S. didn't need to import slaves any longer. Lets just say that there were plantations where there was nothing organic growing from the ground, just in the belly's of slaves.
And the Brits sold many slaves to the U.S. who was the only country that practiced chattel slavery on a wide scale. Yes the U.K. "abolished" it first, but it wasn't codified until 1953, under Article 4 of the European Convention on Human Rights, and wasn't incorporated directly into United Kingdom law until 1998!!!! Oh but the Brits did pay reparations, I tip my hat to them for that, in fact they just paid the note off in 2015 on the 20million pounds borrowed back then to do so, 16.5Billion pounds in today's money.....Oh wait, stand by.....what?? STFU!! WHAT!!???......Ok, disregard that, the Brits did pay reparations, but it was to the slave owners, that lost money due to the loss of their property, ooops, sorry, I mean the abolishment of slavery. So sad.
What's next, ya gonna tell me why a month long funeral fest was needed for that cunt, Queen Lizzy?? 😂🤣😂
It was true because there were no slaves in England during the Atlantic slave trade.
Most gangster line in history, and should be written above Houses of Parliament.
@@danniwilder2198 that’s because slavery was banned in 1066 by William the conqueror.
@@danniwilder2198…That doesn’t mean they weren’t profiting massively off selling or delivering slaves to the U.S, Brazil and Portugal. That doesn’t mean that Britain wasn’t flexing it’s imperialistic and oppressive muscle elsewhere in the world, Hell they were in India until after WWII, and it took the Mau Mau uprising for Kenya finally be free of British rule in 1967!!!
The British government borrowed £20 million to compensate slave owners, which amounted to a massive 40 percent of the Treasury's annual income in the 1800s and the british taxpayer didn't stop paying the debt until 2015 which is quite incredible
Your spin is incorrect and untrue!
British Slave owners argued that their slaves were merely property and not classed as humans and as such taking away their property meant they should be given compensation for their loss, most of the politicians and lords negotiating and agreeing how much compensation would be agreed, owned slaves themselves so it was in their own best interests to negotiate as much compensation as possible.
The compensation was paid out by bonds and through everyone's taxes up until 2015 which meant several generations of blacks whose great grandparents had been slaves, were paying compensation to slave owners and and families who had enslaved their grandparents families..~
PRICELESS!
You mean just like British taxpayers are paying for the upkeep of immigrants coming into the U.K. along with all the taxpayer legal aid they get.
Get a grip!
If it wasn’t for the genius of Great Britain and its great intellect, we wouldn’t be on this platform at this point in time. It would have been another country and several decades later.
I take it you don’t like getting ahead in life? That’s okay though.
@@intellect1st122 It does not alter the fact that British taxpayers, no matter what their ethnic origin, were paying the debt until 2015. Your spin is priceless.
@@iant9461they also pay for the upkeep of 100 % British people who are ill, old, unemployed that what civilised society suppose to do.. If the system was faster people who migrate could work and support themselves.
@@intellect1st122 Wow. Didn't know that.
Britain needs to proud of its record about slavery. We dont need to apologise for anything, we dont need to pay reperations for anything. Britain has always sto9d for freedom.
No it hasn't read a history book
If we are prepared to be proud of our record on ending slavery, we should also be ashamed of our major role in establishing and running the slave trade.
@@capitalb5889 The slave trade existed long before there was even a Britain. For centuries African and Arab slave traders ran their businesses.. The roman slave trade markets were established all over Europe. Britain did not establish the slave trade. British people were involved with the trans Atlantic slave trade, many made fortunes doing it but that doesn't make Britain as a whole responsible. Britain actually sent out navel vessels to stop the trade.
@@capitalb5889slavery was not invented by the British… slavery has been part of human history for centuries.
However, it weren’t for Britain and the other countries, slavery would have continued and possibly still be in action today.
@@EarthtoAdam95 of course slavery always existed - it's in the Bible where the Hebrew God explains the rules for keeping slaves.
However, what happened in the 18th century was an industrialization of slavery on a scale not seen before. At least not since the Roman empire. This established slave economies in Brazil, the Carribbean and Southern States. I refer to them as slave economies, because that's what they were - the economy and the means of production were focused on slavery. And Britain was fundamental setting this up.
But yes, eventually Britain saw that this was no longer acceptable. Not the first country and obviously not the last. And not just stopped, but actively intervened to stop it. This is a good thing.
But this doesn't mean that the previous sins are forgotten entirely. Unlike some countries, slavery had always been illegal in England (at least since Magna Carta), but that didn't stop the country getting deeply into it.
Remember the next time you see that flag, my flag, it liberated your people. 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
The Red Peril - Very true, unfortunately, most people won't believe that it was the British that ended slavery. Britain paid a big price for ending slavery in lives and financially, nowadays a lot of people call Britain a racist Country. Being an English man I know it isn't.
@@davemcbryde2294 Is the UK racist? No.
Does the UK have racists? Just like every other nation of course it does.
Does the UK have a racist government at the moment? It sure bloodly well looks like it seeing that they call refugees illegal immigrants.

The victory by Nelson in 1805 over the French and Spanish fleets set up the naval dominance needed to abolish the Slave Trade
Nelsons tactics at trafalgar, were off the scale brilliant... He was a great, no question!!
To add to the information. The poor mill workers of Victorian Manchester, England supported Abraham Lincoln in the American Civil War by refusing to spin American slave cotton. As a child in the 1960’s I used to go to the Manchester Central Library which kept a letter from Abraham Lincoln in a glass case and every week I would read it. Lincoln’s letter thanked these British millworkers for their help in his fight against the American slave owners. The millworkers were also poor and their fight meant that they also suffered. If ever you come to Manchester England you will find Abraham Lincoln’s statue in Lincoln Square and I hope you will read his letter of gratitude.
Thanks. I didn’t know that.
@Susan Roberts - it's been a while since I've seen the status close up (what with all the building works going on around it.) Am I right in thinking at at least part, if not all, of Lincoln's letter is inscribed in the base?
Wow I never knew that, thanks for the info.
As a great man once said “Manchester so much to answer for” as a city once nick named ‘cottonoppolis’ because of its cotton making industry, this was a massive hit on the economy but also a massive statement on our respect for human rights! Manc and proud 🐝 ❤
@@Mark-nb9ul it’s funny you mentioned the above, I remember my father who sadly passed away at the age of 58 back in 1991, he use to tell us story’s of when he was younger. His father had a roofing company and he employed a quite a few roofers, my grandad use to force my dad to work on a roof’s of houses at the age of 7, but the other roofers went on strike, but it wasn’t long before my father was forced back on the roofs. My father had a very hard life, and he always said that’s why he never had any of his 4 sons work in the building industry. Also my grandad owned around half of the market stalls in Watford and his nine children use to work after school till late at night making all sorts of things to sell on the market. A lot of those things they made were made of lead, my mum always said that’s why my fathers side of the family died young mainly of cancer. Even people made their own children suffer but it was normal in then days. So slavery went back in the family as well.
We were taught at school that there were about 300 British people that EVER owned slaves and their freedom was purchased by the British state at the point of a gun. We are now told it was all the fault of the British, by the foolish.
Also, as a nation we've only just stopped paying via our taxes, toward the price of freeing those slaves, in what the last 10 years or something?
Pretty sure there were British ships sailing to the coast of Africa, and that there are still wealthy British with money FROM the slave trade.
@@wodenbyers2793 also "pretty sure" for that I mean certain, that British slave owners bequeathed huge amounts of money and buildings and scholarships, for the EDUCATION of British, Americans, Africans, Indian, Pakistani etc. They knew slavery was wrong, and before they died, they gave away their wealth in huge swathes. 3000 British sailors died engaging with Slave ships from Africa. They gave their lives to defend black slaves. Britain still polices the High Seas to stop slavery. Britain and British people have given Africa Millions to support African people now. From Primary 1 at school, we were asked to bring in pennies for African babies. This has happened since early 1900s. We are encouraged to support Africa. As adults we support children, grandparents and women to start up businesses. All our friends do this too, as we have been doing it from 5 years of age. How much money do black Americans send to Africa (THEIR Ancestors, home Continent)? So, white British people still send money to Africa, but few if no Black Americans do.
@@wodenbyers2793 prior to 1833, are you just dumb or American? The numbers traded for from Africans were on the table shown, did you miss that?
@@wodenbyers2793 oh name the people who are rich from the slave trade after it was abolished please, you seem to think the wealthy from then are still wealthy now. Name them as it is very easy to check if the families are rich now.
Love my country for spreading democracy across the world 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Sad were losing it at home.
The world would be a dark, brutal place witbout the British. We owe so much to them
If you paid tax in the uk before 2015 you paid your reparation's that was when we paid off the bill for ending slavery ! YOU ARE WELCOME 🤔🤔
firstname lastname stop spreading misinformation or are you just ignorant? Britain paid off slave owners only, Britain has never paid any form of reparation to descendants of slaves, you can continue to lie to yourself to make yourself feel and look better but some of us know the truth.
Wonder who had the benefit of receiving the money maybe they alone should pay up.
Who got paid? It was the previously enslaved, Right?

I’m proud of the fact .our county did all in its power to stop this vile slave trade ..Thousands of our sailors (Royal Navy )sailed across the globe fighting this inhumane heartbreaking trade ..thousands of British lives lost ..The British government paid millions to free slaves …not long ago this debt was finally paid …it’s sad the world doesn’t know these facts …It’s should be in schools to learn all the facts of the African Slave trade ….thank you girls for your video ….xxx
The reason why this is not common knowledge can only be because there is a desire to create hatred and anger in order to divide people. I'm so glad that this information is becoming better known.
Sharon Reichter Especially not in public school systems today, who would find it contrary to their woke agenda.
Totally agree with this.
What I can't accept is that more and more British people hates their government including great leaders of the past i.e. Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher. They should have seen other countries before they h

So glad you are starting to understand us Brits are not the enemy despite the propaganda.
That is true now but historically it’s not so black and white. As even after slavery, if you think of recent British History in Kenya and India for example, you’ll see that Britain carried out some horrific acts. Whilst we fought to defeat Hitler, we had concentration and labour camps ourselves for Kenyas SMDH. But yes things have come a long way, but often Brits tend to thing that evils were many generations ago, whereas we had atrocities even up to the baby boomer generation.
Wake up my friend life is not a bunch of roses
The look on your faces at the end said it all. Britain truly is the greatest country in the world.❤❤
And all because of William Wilberforce and his colleagues. He fought tooth and nail to end it.

i am British Hull born and proud we had William Wilberforce, the local MP who led the parliamentary campaign, first, against the slave trade and, later, against slavery itself.
Along with prison reforms, schools, animal welfare and others. William Wilberforce is one of my heroes.
As did Josiah Wedgwood
I did watch the film and it did educate me a little and I did some of my own research after seeing the film he was a truly amazing human being it's a shame he isn't made more of tbh, I don't recall being taught about him.in school in the 80s.
I am a Hull girl and in the sixties at school did a project about the slave trade and how William Willberforce helped abolish I was so proud of him and the rest of Brits who helped free people ..God bless them ❤️
It's wired to me that modern people tend to gloss over the worldwide context of slavery at that time just to throw mud at the British state today. Ending slavery was a massive undertaking: just imagine if the modern superpowers' decided they were going to stamp out the drug cartels at any cost, it would be a similar undertaking; and let's face it, none of us could imagine modern governments committing to such an epic moral crusade, let alone finishing the job!
Morals is something modern govts don't have for sure,everything the govt says n does 8s to make them money under the guise of health and the bs climate show
Slavery exist since human being exist. The most "sucessfull" slave traders were and are the Arabic people. Look once how many also white people were slaves of the Arabic and especially women. Blond women were in the "Harems" of the Arabic. Why Africans attack Europe and America but not the Arabic Muslims? because many African countries are Islamic or have many Muslims, so they don't attack their brothers and is easier to attack the Western people than the Muslims, they'll not allow that.
A man, who knows a lot about slavery is Thomas Sowell.
that comparison isn't enough since drug cartels ARE viewed (by most people) as immoral whereas slavery wasn't at all
@@lydiamichaels1976 in answer to that, at one point the "Eastern Opium Trade" wasn't classed as "immoral" (until it was)
It's not surprising. History is increasingly written from the American perspective, so it's only the British part in the slave trade that gets mentioned, with the added factor that it gives Americans somebody else to blame for it, rather than their desire to own slaves. There was no slave trade within Britain, which seems to come as a surprise to Americans, who believe we had millions of slaves working in the UK too.
It really started in 1792 when Royal Navy ships transported 1,300 escaped slaves from Canada back to West Africa - more precisely Freetown, the capital of modern day Sierra Leone. Freetown is called Freetown because the British guaranteed it a safe haven for freed slaves, the only place on the West African coast where Africans, under protection of the British, were free to live their lives without risk of being kidnapped again and returned into slavery. Freetown later became the base from where the West Africa Squadron would, in its 50-year crusade patrolling the North Atlantic, eventually rescue 160,000 kidnapped Africans bound for slavery in the Americas. Some of the slaves freed from slave traders' vessels even volunteered to become paid sailors of the Royal Navy and go back out to sea to help capture slave ships and free their fellow Africans.
If you ask me those former slaves deserve all the honour possible for using their new found freedom to free others.
It's only the bad parts of the empire that will ever be spoken about. We as brits should be immensely proud of alot of what our ancestors did.
A lot of us are proud & I'm sure the thousands buried on French soil were proud to die so the rest of us stayed free that included everybody but sadley I feel that they all died for nothing they would have hated this country as it is now
Do you actually know what your ancestors did? You don’t have to go back as far as ancestors. There are plenty of British soldiers and politicians still walking around having committed atrocities in Ireland.
@briankelleher2156 yes, my great grandfather on my mothers side fought in ww2 in Burma, whilst my nan helped make ammunition for the cause.
My great great grandfather came from Ireland to help build railways as an explosives or demolition 'expert'.
My father's side has roots in Germany, Belgium and France.
Both of his grandfathers were in the british army.
So what? Being in the British army is nothing to brag about. The British army is a terrorist organisation in every way but name. It’s the British army that committed the brutality throughout history.
@@charlesbarrett5622 At least you're not speaking German.
It’s unfortunate that around the world, the true nature of slavery is rarely taught. Black peoples, white peoples - indeed, people of every colour in the rainbow - have at some point been slaves. It is how the Eygptians built their pyramids, it’s how the Roman Empire constructed Italy…
The only reason I sometimes think that people are not taught the true history of slavery is to divide us. Every country has done the people of another country wrong… it’s simply the history of civilisation. Knowing this, people have a chance to move forward together, rather than divided by race.
The last slave died in the 1970s so stop bringing up Rome which was founded 2500 years ago

Recent archaeological discoveries show that the pyramids weren't built by slaves but by Egyptian laborers who worked part of the year on them under highly skilled masons and architects.
@ianjohnboy We aren't talking about rogue and non existent governments. We're talking about a global transatlantic slave trade there millions died. This is not comparable
When you think about it it’s actually crazy how powerful little ol’ Britain has near enough always been. From conquering most of the world, to having the most respected monarch (RIP Queen), to having huge impacts on global events. Not bad for a little island 😅😂

If you visit Zanzibar today you can visit the Slave Market display but you will not be told the truth.

When I queried their displays, they retreated to their office and locked the door.
Many of the 'first impression ' beautiful door frame carvings hold the information informing you in the type of slave ownership, and there is a lot, and the beautiful takes on an eye-opening reality of their history.

I was very moved when I saw your faces as you reacted to the information being given in the clip. I am proud to be British (Englishman) and I'd like to add to the story if I can. It is not particularly well known but during 19th century and while the Royal Navy were blockading West Africa and Brazil, Barbary (Moroccan) pirates were raiding the South coasts of England, Wales and Ireland and taking slaves back to Morocco. Another interesting point is that the British Government only finished paying compensation to West Indies plantations in 2014 for the slaves they were forced to free.
The British people paid it, not the disgusting, unfit for person governments.
I'm from a town called Bridgwater in Somerset, we have a very proud history of anti slavery and campaigning against it. The admiral Robert Blake of which we have a statue in the centre of town was involved in the protection of the South Coast and fought off the Barbour pirates who were using Lundy as a stronghold on the Bristol channel.
@@MrBiddy1975 our government full of rich upper class cunts would never pay for anything that doesn't benefit them or their Bullingdon club friends
omg yes the Barbary Slave Trade was HUGE
@@lydiamichaels1976
And it went on for *far* longer, as their beginnings were in about the 7th c AD & it wasn't until the later 19th c that they were stopped. That's about **13 centuries** worth of people...
as a UK tax payer at the age of 58 i payed for the bank loan to pay to buy back all the slaves to stop slavery and i am proud of that
those slavers gave you quite a debt...lol...moral people are always duped
paid
I'll forever be proud to be British and the great things we done, god bless the king on this, the day of his coronation. 🇬🇧
Yes, the British rule concurring and pillaging countries and people all over the world sure is something to be proud of. Destroying nations to exploit and steal all of their resources.
A sight to behold.. two beautiful and respectful ladies, so focussed on listening to these amazing truths.. Praise God.... and bless England..
I'm British (English), I know this history, my mother took me to Wilberforce House in Hull as a child. Only in the last couple of decades, maybe a little more have I been labelled as the perpetrator, enabler and beneficiary of slavery. Despite evidence to the contrary the people pointing the finger and calling the names just deny/do not believe factual history.
Many in America campaigning for reparations would be shocked if they did their own DNA and found out the actual truth of their ancestry. Many would have connections to slavers and the slave trade in Africa.
Ask Africans (born there, brought up there) about their history of slavery and you will discover a completely different narrative.
correct, one of the first slave owners in America was Black, Black slavery goes back thousands of years before they even knew white people existed, the biggest and most powerful Tribe in Africa got all its power and wealth from the slave trade, selling black people to the middle east and Asia and then America and Europe, the film " The woman King " was about a twisted version of this tribe, the truth is they were really nasty people, the British Royal Navy positioned itself off the African coast to prevent this awful tribe from trading in Humans ...........all of which is conveniently not talked about, there is so much info about Slavery in the History books, you only need to look for it
The point is without the British empire you would still be slaves .nothing can change that fact celebrate and rejoice this so called evil country ended it. no other country can claim that. Rule Britannia Britannia ruled the waves.😁
People don't know that Britain paid Plantation owners for every slave they owned so they could be free it cost the country a fortune. The Vikings took Britains as slaves so did the Romans so should we ask for compensation for. Slavery is a vile practice that is still going on today maybe instead of paying for compensation we should combine our money and stamp this out for good
SOME I FOLLOW HIS PARTNER IS A DESCENDANT OF WILLIAM WILBERFORCE
It’s laughable watching black celebrities trace their ancestry to slavery and almost every time they have a black slave owning relative or a white relative
When you hear the song Rule Britania, it was used to celebrate Britain's fight against slavery. We went into so much debt over stopping slavery that Britain finished paying it back in 2014.
2015...but close enough
No government debt is ever repaid.
Except that it didn't stop slavery in all places under British rule and the paying off bit has two issues:
1/ the money wasn't to actually help slaves or even free them but to *reimburse slave owners* so they would stop calling their slaves 'slaves' but now call them 'apprentices'. Those apprentices were forced to do the same work for the same amount of time for the same people in the same place in the same conditions. But hey, at least they weren't called slaves anymore, eh?
2/ Although theoretically it took till 2015 to pay of the debt when you look into the matter you'll notice a few things. Things such as the times that for a few decades at a time nothing was done to lessen the debt or the fact that the debt was kept on the books for accounting reasons because it constituted a low interest loan that could be tapped into by the subsequent governments.
In short, the debt could have been paid off more than a century earlier.
But hey, let's ignore all that because the Brits desperately need something to feel good about after it became clear that Brexit is a xenophobic shit show and calling refugees illegal immigrants comes across as racist.
@@PDVism better'n a war. We have to give them this one. No one did anything like as good.
@@johnwade1095 No one shed as much of their own blood to be rid of slavery as the United States.
I have to admit that as a Brit, I have huge trouble understanding you Ladies, and I am sorry for that.
I do think that you missed the crucial point. Over 1000 years ago, Slavery was made unlawful in England. The Only Country in the entire World to do so.
Then, 700 years later, when we had achieved the Naval Power to do something about it Internationally, We did it, at our own cost and our own Blood. Our men were killed doing that..... I really think History has given the UK a very bad Reputation, and to any reasonable thinker, it is NOT Deserved. We did make the Slave Trade to the US Stop, and I am Proud of that.
I couldn't understand either. It wasn't just the language it was the sound as well that wasn't very good.
If you missed it the slaves in England in 1066 they were white.Same with Roman slaves as Africa and Arabia was not a places the West could travel thrill much later.
watch the 'last night of the Proms' at the Albert Hall. Listen to 'Rule Britannia' and you will understand why it is sung by the British with pride and gusto. One line is "Britons never, never never shall be slaves", because as history shows they knew what it was like to be slaves and it wasn't just the black population's excuse to wear that badge. If britain is such an awful country why does everyone want to live here?🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴

This is the biggest thing I am proud of my Country for! yay England!
Yay Britain I think you’ll find Jules.
Another fact if you payed taxes in england up to 2014 then you helped to pay the debt of ending slavery.

It’s about time certain communities started realising slavery wasn’t just a black thing it was a human thing. And always was.
If you didn't know slavery existed before than you didn't want to know.
If you don't know slavery still exists, then that again is on you.
No one every claimed only white people causes slavery. But surprisingly lots of white people claim smugly that seeing as that black, brown and asians did it as well it really wasn't that bad that whites did it too.
@@PDVism stop talking nonsense, the point was that the narrative of slavery is constantly pushed as a white crime against humanity, no one is taking about the African slave owners or the fact Arabs were taking African slaves for hundreds of years before Europeans stepped foot on the African continent, or that the British ended slavery as a commercial trade throughout the world greatly at its own expense and against its own financial interests, but yes we’ll keep telling the story of the evil whites and the oppressed blacks, if we are going to take about slavery let’s tell the whole story and not cherry pick the narrative. 🇬🇧
@@PDVism What the hell are you on about?
@@PDVism No one thought it was bad back then. In many cases even enslaved peoples had had slaves, but which of them fought for the freedom of others, at the time Britain started doing so?
@@warrenbridges1891 To quote you : "Enslaved peoples had slaves"
If you mean conquered people/ colonized nations/ propped up puppet regimes then sure but if you actually mean persons that were slaves themselves having slaves ..... you are wrong.
Britain fighting for the freedom of others?
You mean while conquering/colonizing half the world, robbing natural riches and ancient treasures and exploiting entire nations?
Let's also ignore that there were plenty of nations that didn't have to stop slavey because of the simple fact that they never took part in it or had already stopped long before the English decided that others shouldn't reap the benefits of the English no longer being a main player in the game.
People today call Britain for slavery if they go back in history and learn what was happening then educate them self then you would see that Britain was the first country to stop slavery.
It wasn't the first, not even the 1st in the 1800's.
And the Brits were very selective in where they stopped it.
France abolished it in 1794, but Napoleon brought it back in 1802.
Slavery exist since human being exist. The most "sucessfull" slave traders were and are the Arabic people. Look once how many also white people were slaves of the Arabic and especially women. Blond women were in the "Harems" of the Arabic. Why Africans attack Europe and America but not the Arabic Muslims? because many African countries are Islamic or have many Muslims, so they don't attack their brothers and is easier to attack the Western people than the Muslims, they'll not allow that.
A man, who knows a lot about slavery is Thomas Sowell.
@@peterjackson4763 In France or every French colony? Otherwise we could say that William The Conqueror was the first in 1087.
@@warrenbridges1891 William did not abolish slavery
🇬🇧👏I am proud to be British and Scottish. Our country like any other has made mistakes in the past but our stand against slavery is one of our greatest victories. I learnt about the slave trade whilst at school in the seventies and have always been fascinated by history.
Britain gave the world the end of large scale slavery along with parliamentary democracy, police,postal service,t.v.,the Internet, the best legal system etc. The truth anout slavery and its end should unite all right thinking people around the world regardless of background.
Now the question is: why is this history hidden? That is a whole other subjedt...
*face palm*
You ignoring history isn't equivalent of it being hidden.
Why are their book bannings in Florida about books concerning Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks or even about Ruby Bridges?
Because there are certain whites that feel 'uncomfortable' to have to face what their parents and grandparents did and don't want to explain to their children what a song like 'Strange Fruit' is about.
This narrative that the Brits totally stopped the slave trade, which they didn't, solely out of noble reasons, which it wasn't, is akin on a US Americans claiming that racism and slavery in the US ended with the civil war, which it didn't.
E.G.: You know when someone actual faced more than a slap on the wrist for holding a slave happened in the USA?
It wasn't in the 1880's or 1890's or the 1910's, or the 1920's ... in was in 1943.
NINETEEN effing FORTY THREE.
Because certain groups would struggle to come to terms with a fact that Africans were trading slaves themselves on a massive scale 🤷♂️.
Well mainly its hidden in books. Books can be found in libraries.
@@jillybe1873 Not in America you can't, not if the republican MAGA's get their way.

How proud are you of the Role of the British expanding it?
@jay onenote cant "expand" something the whole world is already doing lol.
@@jayonenote7527 not at all proud of it. But I do have a question, why is it only Britain that must pay for something that America, Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany Holland and many more were doing? Britain took the lead in ending the transatlantic slave trade (William Wilberforce MP) and for that I'm proud of it. Here's the bottom line: EVERY COUNTRY ON EARTH HAS A DARK HISTORY. Stop blaming it all on one country. Slavery WAS and IS a world issue not just confined to one place or people group. And until we all understand this it will continue. Simple as that.
💕 , proud to be British , much love ladies
A slave is free the moment he sets foot upon English soil. How badass is that!
And of course that included Canada at the time. Many American slaves escaped across the border, helped by the organization known as the "underground railroad".
Im English and im so proud to watch this thank God we abolished slavery
did not do a very good job of it as there is MORE slavery today than any other time in history :)
@@majesticjester1yes true but not by british if we find slavery happening in this country its still a criminal offence and we prosocute
Thank you so much for this truly excellent video, you have just gone some way to restore my pride in my country. I am a proud Lancastrian and a patriotic Englishman. My country has lost its purpose lately with poor government and the inability of our career politicians to listen to the will of the population. Now is the time to rally around this excellent video and make Britain Great 🇬🇧again,

Make England great again, MEGA.
It’s horrible isn’t it John .. everyday I’m more and more saddened at our country and how it’s going.. it’s madness and upside down world. All done by design it seems .. it’s not just us but most of the west seem to be having the same issue with their governments
Geeky , It's the NWO fanatics ,the evil elites who hate Nationalism !! Their trying their best to get rid of British Culture ! ,It's why their allowing in tons of Muslems to try and change our culture , traditions etc ,they can try ?
I wish everyone British born and bred person was patriotic…Notice how in Australia that’s the case (in fact pretty much everyone who goes and adopts the country as their new home)😏. No wonder they over achieve in sport🙄😏
Me too God bless Britain 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍🏻🙏🏻
This is why it breaks my heart to see so many Brits. Hating the real meaning of the Union Jack. Only called the Union Jack when at sea. Otherwise it’s the Union flag. End of the day. Slavery was nothing to do with any of us. So why all the guilt and hate? Lets just all get along and see the beauty in one another.
Ah yes, which is why that a fair portion of Brits were so happy to leave the EU because it meant that all those foreigners would leave.
Which is why so many Brits want to keep refugees out, even if those refugees were formerly helping British troops in war zones, and call them illegal immigrants to be shipped of to Rwanda.
Even the British police force in London has been shown to be misogynistic and racist to the core.
Wow you couldn’t be further from the truth. Your judgement couldn’t be more based on hate for the English. Or white man? Millions of economic migrants are coming illegally through the border. Putting huge Strain on infrastructure largely built in the 70s. Refugees welcome. Economic migrants from clearly safe countries no thank you. This is our right. It is not racist to protect your borders.
I don’t really care about the police. I live in the forest. Not many about. Wakey wakey sir. Those white people you clearly hate. Their ancestors ended slavery for everyone. Before you think it. I haven’t assumed your race. As you could be an idiot that hates their own race. All I know. Is your clouded judgement is based on hate. For one of those two things.
Oh and Brexit was a lot more about leaving the EU commissions power grab of our sovereignty. A lot less about migrants. As nobody was silly enough to believe it would stop.
they are welcome to leave , there is lots of open land in Afrika .
that flag makes a mockery of the word "union" - there is no unity between all four nations - between Ireland, Scotland & Wales yes, but not all four...
How many times has Britain saved humanity now, and civilization. God bless the Brits
The key-word is: start studying before you judge!!
No man, whatever coulour his skin, whatever race or creed should be a slave, Good old William Wilberforce for fighting for freedom, now mankind just has to realise we all should have freedom and that a

This should be known to the world 👍🏻
I really love people choosing to watch and become educated on matters of history. especially history like this where there has been so many misunderstandings and lies about it to fit narratives. You're in good hands with the guy narrating. he is very well versed in history and extremely well read.
It’s definitely covered up on a large scale, hidden in plain sight. The information is available more so than ever but it’s an inconvenient part of history for those who profit on conflict, so if you can’t hide it, you have to control it so people have no desire to look for it. Credit to you two for looking past the surface level.
There were no innocent parties where slavery is concerned, but the good should be celebrated, and replicated.
I've watched so many of these reactions, and honestly it never gets old watching the looks of shock and surprise on the faces of P.O.C when they finally realise the history of slavery they were taught was a total lie..
It's shocking to me that there's a number of black people out there that even dare to suggest that Britain should pay reparations to P.O.C, when them same P.O.C and P.O.C across the entire western hemisphere owe their very freedom's to the bravery of our British ancestors and (by extension) their descendants!!..

If somebody was giving free gold away, there would be a queue the length of the country. African Kings virtually did this, and so many businessmen and nations grabbed as much as was offered. England even had to borrow to help end slavery. This debt was not completely paid off until 2016
Congrats, you fell for the half truths and lies spewed by right wing nationalist and white supremacists.
How about you actual read up who got paid, why they got paid and what the result of it all was to those that were already slaves. Hint : eff all.
I’m not feeling guilt over something I didn’t do, nor will I take credit for what we did do. It’s all in the past.

You are two of the greatest women of our recent hisrory to hear this and understand what happened back then wasn't racial it was economic and about money👌❤.

it amazes me how many americans dont know this. they were not the first to outlaw it very far from it.
I remember having this in a history lesson in the 60s it got to me then at the age of 6/7. I still get the same feeling I had then! I feel for the people of these countries which were taken for slaves and I'm positive it would've been against their will. 😢😢😢 No amount of money or prestige is worth the life of another human being. I'm from the UK.
I wish they taught this in British schools
They used to. I started school in England in 1982. We were taught from historical records, books and scholar papers. Back when we had to actually go to libraries to find relevant information to research and report on.
I'm grateful for this.
It's truly worrying how obfuscated and revised history has become to fit a political bias. In the tech info age, accurate information can so easily be manipulated.
It is encouraging to see a wave of revelation in so many people now seeking out the facts that have deliberately been hidden, altered and downright rewritten in recent times. Feels somewhat akin to a knowledge revolution that is much needed.
Keep dreaming. Will never be part of the left teacher agenda.
The woke agenda are trying to prevent the teaching of this in schools where it is still being covered.
I’m so glad that you both listened to this long Video. I have always been sad because I come from Liverpool. A lot of people got very rich because of slavery, it was on my conscience.
