That's not a concentration camp. That's a prison for POWs

The POWs were British soldiers along with their wives and children who fought against slavery. It was a concentration camp.

It's interesting how the British prisoners were allowed to have their wives and kids live with them. That wouldn't happen now

They housed women and children of soldiers who fought for a country that was actively working to abolish slavery.

The point of a concentration camp, aka relocation internment camp, is to gather all the "undesirables" and concentrate them into a single small isolated area for genocidal purposes.

If the only people there are people captured during war, it's not a concentration camp.

The article doesn't need to point out the fact that abolitionism was a common worry among colonists because Britain was working to make it happen. Rich people literally paid slaves to go join the British army to get southern slavemasters to join the fight.

Correct, but they abolished it in the mainland long before the United States did. Even after the US got rid of slavery in the 1860s, they continued to do so in the Pacific for almost another 100 years. The British stopped by the 20th century.

I'm on the side of acknowledging the colonists abusing slavery to change the tides of the war in favor of them and how the country was literally founded upon slavery. Which side are you on?

My great-great-great grandfather was killed in the colonies by the damnable "Continentals", terrorists by any other name to raise arms against the King.

People laughed at me when I said he died of dysentery in a camp with conditions that my great-great-great Grandmother could only described as squalor, as she was imprisoned with him! Despite being a non-combatant -- they cared little about sanctity!

Now I can rest a little easier, that the truth has been revealed for all. He was a victim of a concentration camp!

I wish for compensation in a monetary form -- how do I apply?

The first nations were relocated and given sovereignty in the new location. It's still genocide of course but several layers removed from what happened in concentration camps.

Yep: the Spanish in Cuba, under the command of General Valeriano Weyler. Roughly a third of the Cuban population had been moved into camps by 1898 under Weyler's reconcentrado policy.

Nevertheless, I feel this is one of those areas where people worry far more about who did something first than about who's doing it now.
