My major issue was how you ignored mention of slavery at all in your counter-factual.
Had the British government offered land and titles to the right people -- assuming such people existed, which seems unlikely -- how much longer would the British Empire have supported slavery as official policy?
With titles would have come representation in Parliament, increasing the control of slaveholders on British rule.

You wrote "I hesitate to say the slaughter of indigenous would not have happened", implying you think it might not have happened.
