The Somersett case was one of the key turning points in the lead-up to the American revolution. His owner, Charles Stewart, had been the chief customs officer of Boston, Massachusetts, so the news of the case was widely reported in the colonies. This galvanised the slave-owners to call for independence, to sever ties with Britain before the Abolitionist movement mounted legal challenges which would have affected the colonial economy: there is a reason that two thirds of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence were slave-owners.

Americans have never been taught the real facts behind their war of independence. For instance one fact was that Britain at the time was pitting her army against two major superpowers, France and Spain. The Army of the 13 states was merely a second or 3rd string of a weak national guard. What the states should have done was rally around the flag in the time of Empire building. Slaving however in the Americas was too profitable. Surely the intellect of America must know that it had nothing to do with a tea tax, something so insignificant it could have been settled over a few beers.

Go back another, oh... three or four generations, just to be safe. I've still ended up paying for the freedom of others. The same goes for any other Brit. And many others of us still fight and work to free slaves: those in the British Military. But whether or not Britain was involved in slavery (which we were, no point in denying... but then so was everyone!), WE were the first to not only outlaw it, but enforce that upon everyone else. When Britain held the reins of world power, that is what we did with it: stop slavery. For everyone. Imposed on everyone. Politics be damned, and national pride of other nations be damned. We enforced it, and crippled other nation's economies doing so because they would not play ball. I'll wait until you point out which other nation decided to expend it's blood, sweat, and treasure on the dissolution of slavery before us, or even to our effect. I'll also wait while you find any evidence that the slavery we were involved in was any different to slavery practiced throughout history (it was certainly better than that practiced by the Muslim Caliphate - they castrated their male slaves so they wouldn't breed), which OTHERS did nothing to stop... until we started that ball rolling. Hell, the Americans ended up fighting a war with themselves over it (worst thing they did: it would have cost less in money, and with ZERO bad feelings for beating the southern states, no loss of life, etc, if they had done as the British Empire did: pay the slave owners to free their slaves and make slavery illegal at the same time) - but they only did so due to pressure and shame from the world's first superpower doing what they would not - end slavery. It must gall you, that simple fact, that there's something to be proud of in the old British Empire. You want us to feel shame for it, for once trading in slaves? Tell me: what nationality are you? I could then point out when YOUR ancestors kept and traded in them. Pointless doing so, but it seems to be your level. I feel no shame for what others did, for that helps no-one. I feel pride for what my nation did - what no other did before us. England had no slaves within it's borders for nearly 900 years - utterly unheard of. But we're the "big bad". No other nation ever had an empire. No other people ever conquered their neighbour. All tribes in Africa were all sunshine and rainbows, never thinking of taking slaves, til we got there. (sarcasm, just in case that went over your head) Oh, wait: we found existing slave trades in Africa when we got there, and the Portuguese got there before us, and found the same. (sigh) I'm off to drink some tea while you continue to vent your idiocy.

In 1748, the yet to be King George III wrote essays on his abhorrence of the slave trade, he would go on to give Royal assent to the abolition of this trade. The writing was on the wall.

British contributions to the world as a whole are massive, the modern world is more or less the model that other have followed with its birth in Britain, from the Magna Carter to the industrial revolution Britain shaped the modern world. Even the American constitution and its amendments are based upon old English Law. Yes there are moments of darkness within this empire, but overall it did more good than harm when compared to other empire building nations within that timeframe.

As an "Oldie" now - we were actually taught about our own History back then, even about the Slavery issue here, as well as other era's going right back to the Roman times . . . All of the various wars we were in, as well as the Industrial Revolution which also helped to make Britain/UK, the powerhouse and world leader/main superpower it was back then . . . It was only after WW1 & WW2 where we had huge debts to pay off, including still paying for what was spent previously towards slavery - was when the country itself was close to becoming bankrupt in the 1960's; and so could not afford to keep so many military bases overseas any longer . .. it was all about a lot of cut-backs then just to keep the country going, and when our large military forces (mainly naval) then began to dwindle as a smaller navy, only as less could be spent on it. All 3 of those debts were finally paid off between 2000-2015 . . . And lately of course, the pandemic showed up and put us back into more debt yet again . . . Thomas Sowell has also done a good one about this in 2 parts, I think, which you might also like to see or possibly react to, too?

a very proud crusade for us Brits... i learned a lot when i first saw this. you should look into our industrial past, look up Fred Dibnah who did alot of programs or Mark Williams who did a series called on the rails.

A little extra fact for you England only finished repaying the money it spent on freeing the slaves in 2015 that should give you some idea how much we as a nation truly spent buying all the slaves from other countries and setting them free. I'm proud of this nations history we all have a little blood on our flags but what people forget is that some of it is our own from trying to be better, not everyone can state that.

It was never about the colour of a person's skin. It was about economics. More white people, non Muslims, were captured as slaves.

England and the surrounding European countries were attacked by the Barbary Pirates, from North Africa. The Barbary Pirates would raid coastal villages and take whole communities - men, women and children. They often slaughtered the old, castrated the men and boys, 60% of whom died because of the rough way it was done, and take the women. Depending on the 'market', women were forced to walk through the desert and, if they couldn't keep up, were beaten and left to die in the sand. These raids were so common at one point, Fishermen would not put to sea for fear their families would not be there when they got back. They stayed at home, but no fish meant no money, which meant starvation. As countries protected themselves more, the slavers found it more and more difficult to get slaves. To find a Continent that sold its captured enemies as slaves opened up a new 'market'. It really didn't matter what the colour of a slave was. IMO

Actually, in 2015 the UK government paid off the loan that used to pay 3,000 families that owned slaves for the loss of their “property”. 20 million pounds was raised in 1833.

This is fine example of why The Woman King is such a joke of a film, they rewrote history in that movie turning the king of Benin into a hero. Its insulting to all the British Sailors, about 5000, who died fighting against the slave trade.

As a British citizen, I am ashamed of everything fucked up we do in this country, currently and historically. As anyone conscientious should - we should not refuse to look away from the fucked up shit our country has done. Boyle is a great comedian and makes very good criticism. But Britain is an ancient nation and has plenty to be ‘proud’ of. Like who cares.

The loan for paying for the freedom of every slave from their 'owners', taken out by the British government, was only paid off in 2015!!! We, the population, had been paying it off through our taxation since the abolition law was passed. It was the only way the owners would free them.

Slavery was never about ones skin colour. Slavery often doesn't come from racism but the other way around. Generally speaking sub saharan africa is a massive territory that was split by many, many small tribes along some kingdoms. This made it so that sub saharan africa was very prone to have many tribal wars and tribal raids that would amass many slaves that could be bough by merchants.

William the Conqueror instilled anti slavery law in england in 1066

15:15 just to be clear, the castration thing only really happened to the slaves taken by Arabs in the East African Slave Trade and the North African Barbaries (who not only took MANY white European Slaves but actively raided towns, including along England's coast, and took people from their homes). Castration was not really a thing in the West African Slave Trade. Not sure if that clarification was necessary but it felt like it was worth saying, regardless of the fact that slavery, castration or not, was horrendous

The American writer and suffragist Alice Duer Miller (1874 - 1942) put it rather well in her moving poem _The White Cliffs_ , when she wrote: "I am American bred, I have seen much to hate here- much to forgive, But in a world where England is finished and dead, I do not wish to live. " A long poem - but an amazing one, which ALL Anglophile Americans (and ALL British schoolchildren) should read.

I'm from the UK, and I really wish that they taught us this in school !

England had an abolition movement from the mid 11th century, prior to William the Conqueror. Wulfstan Bishop of Worcester convinced Bristol port to stop cooperating with the Gael Norse slavers operating out of Dublin. Dublin was the largest slave market in western europe from the 5th to the 12th century, largely fed by English, Welsh and Scots captives. They traded from Iceland to Iran, and as far south as the north African states of Morocco, Tunis, Tripoli and Algiers. Wulfstan was joined in his campaign by Lanfranc, William's tutor who he made Archbishop of Canterbury, who also abhorred slavery. William made these fines so prohibitive for people to keep people as slaves and trade in slaves, that it helped suppress the status of slaves and finally in 1102 it was almost completely suppressed when the church condemned it. However, there was still the Gael Norse slave markets and raids and the occasional illegal trading. In 1171, Henry II went to Ireland after the King of Leinster appealed for help regaining Leinster. At this point he negotiated, at the Council of Armagh, for all English slaves held in the kingdoms on island of Irelandto be freed.

The British are coming 🇬🇧 had a whole different meaning to the slaves back then ❤

Unrelated to this subject - Please check out online videos about the following places, (1) The ancient City of York, specifically a road known as "The Shambles". The old City of York still has much of its Roman city walls where you can actually walk along the walls. Then there is York Minster which is a magnificent church with the most breathtaking stained glass windows, (2) Malham Cove, Gordale Scar in North Yorkshire, (If you do visit the village of Malham, can I personally recommend The Lister Arms where you can sit in front of an open fire with a cold pint and stumble back to your room after a hearty meal, 🙂👍(3) The Lake District, (4) Haworth, North Yorkshire (the home of the Brönte Sisters), (5) Cambridge, and finally, (6) anywhere is Scotland but for a real treat, visit the west coast of Scotland with the many spectacular island communities. In the UK, most vehicles have a manual gearbox and are quite small in comparison to vehicles in the US. If you drive on any of the roads in North Yorkshire or the Lake District, you will be alarmed at how narrow the roads can be, with the need for passing places to enable vehicles to pass when travelling in opposite directions. It certainly makes driving on the roads very interesting, especially as the roads tend to have high stone walls on either side blocking your view around corners. (Try watching the film, "Three men and a little lady", where the Americans drive around the roads of Oxfordshire in a mini car. You'll get the general idea).

I used to live in Brazil, in Pernambuco (like a state in Brazil). The place I lived is Porto De Galinhas which translated means Port Of Chickens. Now slavery was illegal then BUT ships came to the port and asked to buy chickens which was code for slaves.

We, in the U.K. are generally ignorant of our role in the abolition of slavery, which is a pity!

What people forget is that while slaves had a 10-20% mortality rate, the sailors had up to 37% on average at the time… the worse of the age of scurvy got up to 50%.

It is amusing but also frustrating why people of this age expect us to judge what our ancestors did hundreds of years ago. Taken in the context of the age the events happened in and what was the norms of the day why should any of us feel ashamed?

One of the main reasons for the massive debt accrued by Britain in abolishing slavery was that once the slave trade was stopped, a pragmatic decision was taken to get rid of slavery on the plantations by buying the slaves' freedom, and keeping the goodwill of the plantation owners, rather than upsetting them by sending soldiers to take the slaves away from the plantations. Remember that Britain still relied on trade with the colonies to keep the wealth flowing. Even so, it was a massive undertaking that removed slaves from the British Empire, and several other countries as well.

I havent finished the video yet but so far, no mention of Boudicca and her daughters against the Roman Empire! Brilliant Statue at the Victoria Embankment, opposite Big Ben! She gets very little mention in any of these videos.

I believe it means they kept them like animals and bred them like animals. So once a slave gave birth to a child, that child was also a slave. I think i heard about it in a roman documentry.

If the West African Squadron had been US, Hollywood would have made dozens of movies of this by now!

On 28 August 1833 the UK Parliament passed legislation that abolished slavery within the British Empire, emancipating more than 800,000 enslaved Africans. As part of the compromise that helped to secure abolition, the British government agreed a generous compensation package of £20 million to slave-owners for the loss of their ‘property’. The Bank of England administered the payment of slavery compensation on behalf of the British government. " They had to the buy the slaves from the Plantation owners to set them free!! That was equivalent to £20 BILLION today.

In 1833, Britain used 40% of its national budget to buy freedom for all slaves in the Empire. Britain borrowed such a large sum of money for the Slavery Abolition Act that it wasn't paid off until 2014. This means that living British citizens helped pay for the ending of the slave trade with their taxes'.31 Jan 2018

Mansa Musa (Arabic: منسا موسى, romanized: Mansā Mūsā; r. c. 1312 - c. 1337[a]) was the ninth[3] mansa of the Mali Empire, which reached its territorial peak during his reign. Musa is known for his wealth and gift-giving, and has sometimes been called the wealthiest person in history. His riches came from the mining of significant gold and salt deposits in the Mali Empire, along with the slave and ivory trade. At the time of Musa's ascension to the throne, Mali in large part consisted of the territory of the former Ghana Empire, which Mali had conquered. The Mali Empire consisted of land that is now part of Guinea, Senegal, Mauritania, The Gambia, and the modern state of Mali. Musa went on hajj to Mecca in 1324, traveling with an enormous entourage and a vast supply of gold. En route, he spent time in Cairo, where his lavish gift-giving is said to have noticeably affected the value of gold in Egypt and garnered the attention of the wider Muslim world. Musa expanded the borders of the Mali Empire, in particular incorporating the cities of Gao and Timbuktuinto its territory. He sought closer ties with the rest of the Muslim world, particularly the Mamluk and Marinid Sultanates. He recruited scholars from the wider Muslim world to travel to Mali, such as the Andalusian poet Abu Ishaq al-Sahili, and helped establish Timbuktu as a center of Islamic learning. His reign is associated with numerous construction projects, including part of Djinguereber Mosque in Timbuktu. Musa's reign is often regarded as the zenith of Mali's power and prestige. Early reign Musa was a young man when he became mansa, possibly in his early twenties.[40] Given the grandeur of his subsequent hajj, it is likely that Musa spent much of his early reign preparing for it. Among these preparations would likely have been raids to capture and enslave people from neighboring lands, as Musa's entourage would include many thousands of enslaved people; the historian Michael Gomez estimates that Mali may have captured over 6,000 people per year for this purpose.Perhaps because of this, Musa's early reign was spent in continuous military conflict with neighboring non-Muslim societies.In 1324, while in Cairo, Musa said that he had conquered 24 cities and their surrounding districts

Animal husbandry is basically having the knowledge and skills to look after livestock aka farming

There is as whole bunch this video doesn't cover either - such as the setting up of "Free Town" by the British. 1 of the problems of freeing captured slaves is what you actually do with them. These were people from small tribes, often from deep in Central Africa, who didn't speak English and who had been broken by their captors. In many cases their tribes and families had been wiped out and, worse, the British couldn't exactly escort them back to their home in Central Africa, right through the lands of the people who had captured them in the 1st place. So, what would they do? At first they tried to resettle them in London in the 1700s but, obviously, they struggled to adapt and had no way of really earning an income. As a result of their failure to adapt to British life, the British then set up a town in a place on the West African coast where Britain had influence, a place that was to become modern day Sierra Leone. That town was named "Free Town" and is the capital of Sierra Leone today. The residents still celebrate the founding of their city today and recognise the efforts of the British abolitionists in giving them their freedom. Another thing that isn't covered here is the British offering freedom to American slaves during the American War for Independence. America loves to paint the war as a fight for freedom against British tyranny and whilst they had some fair grievances, the idea that American independence was a "fight for freedom" is a bit rich when you understand that the British were offering to free any American slaves who would come and fight for Britain. Not only did they offer freedom, they followed through and many slaves who fought and survived the war were not only freed but actually given their own land in Canada, which remained in the British Empire. Meanwhile those slaves that had stayed in America after the war, rather than defect to the British, remained in slavery for almost another 100 years. "Land of the Free" indeed, lol

Animal Husbandry is basically keeping and looking after animals.

The word 'slave' itself comes from 'slav' as in the Slavic people. During the 9th century, Islamic colonists in the Iberian peninsula and along North Africa, enslaved the Slavic people of Eastern Europe (primarily around the Bosnia region) hence the etymology.

I was born in Kingston upon Hull (commonly abbreviated to just "Hull", in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in the UK. William Wilberforce (24 August 1759 - 29 July 1833) was a British politician, philanthropist and leader of the movement to abolish the slave trade. A native of Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, he began his political career in 1780, eventually becoming an independent Member of Parliament (MP) for Yorkshire (1784-1812). In 1785, he became an evangelical Christian, which resulted in major changes to his lifestyle and a lifelong concern for reform. In 1787, Wilberforce came into contact with Thomas Clarkson and a group of activists against the slave trade, including Granville Sharp, Hannah More and Charles Middleton. They persuaded Wilberforce to take on the cause of abolition, and he soon became the leading English abolitionist. He headed the parliamentary campaign against the British Slave Trade for 20 years until the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807. Wilberforce was convinced of the importance of religion, morality and education. He championed causes and campaigns such as the Society for the Suppression of Vice, British missionary work in India, the creation of a free colony in Sierra Leone, the foundation of the Church Mission Society and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. His underlying conservatism led him to support politically and socially controversial legislation, which resulted in criticism that he was ignoring injustices at home while campaigning for the enslaved abroad. In later years, Wilberforce supported the campaign for the complete abolition of slavery and continued his involvement after 1826, when he resigned from Parliament because of his failing health. That campaign led to the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, which abolished slavery in most of the British Empire. Wilberforce died just three days after hearing that the passage of the Act through Parliament was assured. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, close to his friend William Pitt the Younger. Please see further details on the relevant Wikipedia entry relating to William Wilberforce for much more information.

Animal husbandry is the branch of agriculture concerned with animals that are raised for meat, fibre, milk, or other products. It includes day-to-day care, selective breeding, and the raising of livestock

Animal husbandry is a branch of agriculture concerned with the production and care of domestic animals the verb to husband, meaning "to manage carefully," derives from an older meaning of husband, which in the 14th century referred to the ownership and care of a household or farm, but today means the "control or judicious use of resources," and in agriculture, the cultivation of plants or animals. Peace out.

Animal husbandry is the raising and breeding of farm animals. Also the £250,000 in 1750 is equivalent to over 44 million today.

Animal husbandry is the offical word for farming animals.

Animal husbandry is IIRC is the trade of livestock and the rearing of animals for foodstuffs

Animal husbandry is the branch of agriculture where animals are reared, bred and raised for meat, fiber, eggs, milk and other food products.

When Britain abolished it's slave trade about half a dozen African kingdoms complained! King Gezo of the Dahomey was on record saying he'd do anything the British asked but give up slavery. Britain signed about 50 anti slaving treatise with West African kingdoms and any that refused to stop got bombarded into stopping. The slave port of Lagos, Nigeria was one such location. Lagos renamed it's independence square after a local slave trader. You can see a statue of her there today. When the transatlantic slave trade had largely stopped, they diverted ships to East Africa to stop the Arab slave trade. They stopped patrolling East Africa in the 1970's. Look up the photos from the HMS Sphinx that captured Arab slavers in Oman and the sailors breaking off the chains of the African slaves in 1907?
