rsynnott is "technically" correct, but perhaps to clarify: the concept of slavery as existed in the New World was never legal on English soil, nor when it united with Scotland to become the UK. What this means for the fact that the English were at one point one of the largest traders of African slaves is an education in how people can be quite selective in their morals when money is involved.
