Because in 1776, their were slaves -_- cause it was founded for the white people not the black people.

The slaves would've been freed much earlier had treason against King George III been unsuccessful. Black people seem to get a much fairer shake in the UK than America. They're not wrong.

Except for the fact that the south was being funded and supplied by the UK during the Civil War, making them supporters of slavery. --- I am a senior software engineer.

They need to politely be reminded that were it not for the slave trade, they probably wouldn't even exist, let alone be residents of the USA. Unless, of course, their ancestors immigrated post-Civil War. But then that would make this particular complaint about slavery kinda moot.

They're not wrong. If we say that the civil war was about slavery, sure. If we acknowledge that slavery was just one of many issues in play, not so much. --- This is my signature.

They're not wrong. No they didn't. the UK continuously blew off all ambassadors the csa sent and never recognized them as a biligerent state. France wouldn't because they didn't want to piss off England. The only European power that was even mildly sympathetic was Russia. Read Shelby Foote. --- The ending of the word is ALMSIVI ...

didn't the UK buy and sell the slaves from africa, to americans? I thought it was british people who actually got them out of africa and then took them to america for sale. the UK wasn't actually innocent. they outlawed slavery inside the homeland. but they still did it throughout their empire.

It was Britain's massive hard-on for Imperialism that basically made the slave trade what it was.

No they didn't. the UK continuously blew off all ambassadors the csa sent and never recognized them as a biligerent state. That is a gross understatement of what actually happened. While they didn't recognize them as a nation or exchange ambassadors, they did recognize them as an independent entity and, more importantly, allowed trade of munitions and luxuries to the CSA. They even financed the blockade runners to get past the USA Navy to get those goods in the hands of CSA soldiers. TES_Nut posted... Read Shelby Foote. I did, that is how I knew that happened.

No one celebrates colombus day anymore, we all found out he was a monster. Also not all Africans were slaves and not all slaves were African. Then you have to remember that not all Americans were slave owners and the North abolished it pretty soon after anyways. It was mainly the south that fought for it. We had a whole civil war over it. That ideology just doesn't happen overnight. Independence waa fought for all men black or white. --- i7-5820K 3.3GHz, Asus X99-DELUXE, Corsair H110i GTX, 850 EVO 1TB, EVGA GTX 970 4GB FTW ACX2.0, Corsair 760T, EVGA 850W, Orion Spark, Proteus Core, Benq BL3200PT ...

Glad my family never raised me to be like that, all angsty over what happened to my ancestors. I'd much rather have this life than the alternatives if they weren't brought over here... y'know, living in Africa instead or never being born.
