The End of The British Slave Trade

On March 25, 1807, a monumental step was taken by the British Parliament that would alter the course of history: the abolition of the slave trade throughout the British Empire. This video highlights the profound impact of this groundbreaking legislation, its significance and the long journey that led to its enactment. Despite this landmark decision, the path to complete abolition was fraught with challenges, as the practice of slavery persisted in the British colonies until 1838, and freedom for the enslaved came at a high cost, with compensation provided to slave-owners. The European slave saw at least 12 million Africans forcibly transported and enslaved, and the legacy of these actions that continue to resonate today. Join us in exploring this critical moment in the fight against slavery and its lasting implications on global history.

We gonna talk about the Arabic slave trade which was going on for hundreds if not thousands of years before the Europeans. as well as how the Europeans piggy backed off of them ?
Or how bout how the African nations would attack other less fortunate tribes and sell their people off

And every American says that Britain is evil while they had another 30 years to go because even though it ended in the colonies in 1838 it ended in 1833 on the Mainland

It's funny because the British made Indians learn and prepare for civil services, to make a factory of well educated administrative servants who were Britisher's puppets and do as they say.

I love how the word "slavery" now just revolves around black people. Black people or afticans aren't the only people in world who were slaves or turned into slaves
