- ahmeneeroe-v2 2y agothanks for the link but still lost.
- makeitdouble 2y agoIt looks incredibly simple and clear to me, so I'm pretty curious about what is getting you lost, if you'd be inclined to expand.
- ahmeneeroe-v2 2y agoWhat makes the UK a unique place with regard to slavery, as your original post implies?
- makeitdouble 2y agoIt doesn't need to be unique, you can't just look at a dispute between the UK and another country and dismiss that other country on the base of an history of slavery. PS: my question would be how many other countries you think were ahead of the UK in terms of trade slave when it was all the rage for European countries ?
- trwhite 2y agoSpain was considerably more exploitative than Britain at first, in the South American gold & silver mining trade, to name one example.
