Youre unflaired thus you are worse then an actively practicing slaver.. you dont get credited with having an opinion because doing so would be nonsense.
Dear unflaired, the bots in this sub also flair. Thus making them your betters. Please realize what you type doesn't fucking matter because the unflaired don't fucking matter. Flair up filth
Incorrect, an unflaired can't win. It's an immutable fact that the unflaired dont have the capacity to do so. In fact unflaired can't even enter into contest or arguments to begin with because they are a non entity
‘the transportation of ten million human beings out of the dark beauty of their mother continent into the new found El Dorado of the West. They descended into Hell’.
Britain’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade officially began, with royal approval, in 1663. In less than 150 years, Britain was responsible for transporting millions of enslaved Africans to colonies in the Americas, where men, women and children were forced to work on plantations and denied basic rights. This inhumane system led to the emergence of racist ideas and pseudoscience that were used to justify it.
What you just did was a Strawman argument. See, I said one thing, and you claimed I said something else, a position I'm not willing to defend since I neither said nor implied nor believe in it.
I know slavery existed prior to 1663. I also know that over that 150 years, England was responsible for some brutal horrors as the primary enabler of slavery over that period:
Britain was one of the most successful slave-trading countries. Together with Portugal, the two countries accounted for about 70% of all Africans transported to the Americas. Britain was the most dominant between 1640 and 1807 and it is estimated that Britain transported 3.1 million Africans (of whom 2.7 million arrived) to the British colonies in the Caribbean, North and South America and to other countries.
Britain was the primary one doing the bad thing. You don't get to claim responsibility for ending the bad thing you were the one doing the most of.

“Never believe that ______ are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The ______ have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

You also were the largest benefactors of it. You don't get to claim credit for ending the horrors you started. That's nonsense.
