Just started watching and I have already learned more about Britain’s abolition movement than I ever learned in school

[MahDryBread]

It's really nice to see someone really go to bat for their country! I really do think that people don't talk about just how big a deal it was that Britain had a crusade against Slavery

[boriss.]

A thirteen minute and fifty second lecture that should be played in every school across the world. After the one word discuss? The Spanish and Portuguese trade was large and do not forget the white women especially taken to the Middle East.

[newperve]

Let's not forget that the West African Squadroon was a dangerous, yet highly sought, billet. Many Britishers died freeing people who didn't speak their language, known the customs or look like them. who were totally foreign.

Hell some parts of Africa still haven't realised that slavery was wrong

The push to erase and rewrite our history must be fiercely opposed. Pulling our children out of government schools and educating them ourselves is the first and most important step in maintaining the truth of our history. Great vid, Britisher.

In Brazil we have a saying: "law to show the English", which is used to describe a rule that no one follows.

Strange that the slave trade is still going on in the Middle East but you don’t see that being brought up and I wonder if the England football team will be taking a knee at the 2022 World Cup see where it’s taking place at and I don’t see a certain f1 driver complaining when he takes part in Middle Eastern countries?

I will always love these isles and will defend them to my last breath. Those of us that reside here, know there must be a compromise between lazzes faire capitalism and social group think. We should never let one side overcome the other, lest worse atrocities than slavery be committed.

[ryanblabla]

Brilliant, you do these short documentaries very well and this is a history that must be taught.

[carlharrison]

Be PROUD of our little island and dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Just point them in the direction of the Britisher to set them right !

[Dave-ksfi]

I really wish the audio of this could be put on mainstream TV and radio. It should of course be taught in school.

[jonrich]

It should be remembered that there could be 40 million slaves in the world today. Still a work in progress.

[Sukerkin]

Gloriously done, good sir. To me, being of an age that I went to school when the education was worth having, this tale was known. But it needed retelling for those indoctrinated into hating themselves and you did it splendidly.

[Hollows]

A brilliant video. However, most who you aim to persuade with this video either:
A) Already know the truth
B) Already know the truth but want to continue to virtue signal or even more incredulous; want to play the victim for their own gain.

An interesting detail about the abolition of slavery in the British Empire is that a court ruling more than three centuries before during Elizabethan times declared that slavery was merely customary, and not supported by any act of Parliament or Royal Decree. There was also an important court ruling in 1793 which declared that a person held as a slave could not be removed from England against their will. (That might not sound like much, but not allowing a person declared as property to be treated completely arbitrarily is a huge change.)

Another important detail. That 20 million pounds sterling used to compensate the slave holders? It was financed by public debt, a debt that was only finally paid off in 2015.

In 1416, the Republic of Ragusa (today Dubrovnik, Croatia) officially banned slavery; 75 people voted for the ban and just three were against it. The decision stated that “none of our nationals or foreigners, and everyone who considers [themselves] from Dubrovnik, can in any way or under any pretext to buy or sell slaves…or be a mediator in such trade.” Anyone who didn’t follow this law was fined and sentenced to half a year in the lower dungeons. It took a while for other countries to catch up – Britain didn’t ban slavery until 1833.

[PropagatorNET]

This was amazing. People nowadays are so ignorant of history. I hope this video gets a lot of attention.

[AlexanderKasparis]

I have an exam on this topic and I am so glad you went over it because your basically summarising everything we have to know in an enormous text book.

[stephenstocks]

How about talking about the slave trade from the barberry pirates that took people from England and Ireland and sold them into the slave trade ?
