The cost to Britain was enormous and the cost was only finished being paid in 2015;God Save The King
Saudi Arabia only officially abolished slavery in1962. It continues, however, clandestinely.
What the hell do you mean clandestinely it still happens it’s just people with iPhones,gold and diamonds don’t like to admit they are the problem
@@redrb26dett boko haram, 600 girls.
I'm glad that we have videos like this because so many young people today don't have much Idea about what really occured because there has been a concerted effort to rewrite history by some for their personal agenda . Many years ago I explained Britain's role in ending slavery and Western civilization in general to some younger people and they looked at me as if I was deluded , they were convinced that Slavery was started by the British and only came to an end when the British Empire ended . I also mentioned that the Muslims were taking slaves from Africa some 600 hundred years before the Europeans turned up but they just didn't want to know. Ps I didn't mention that it was illegal to own a slave in England from the end of the 11th Century as they already thought I was telling fairytales., Hope they get to watch this video some day.
Yeah, any mention of Britain in a positive manner nowadays and the ears perk up as the pitchforks get sharpened, it's worse than ever. Woke ideologies are the global pandemic, not covid. However, back on point. I've tried all the facts you listed in your comment and drawn a complete blank, usually followed by personal abuse. Recently I changed tactics and talked about the heroic US Marines and their mission to save white Americans that were to be sold as slaves in North Africa............When the schools and Hollywood are brainwashing with the same woke lies, any overt attempt at telling the truth is immediately shouted down with derision. Get them questioning things themselves though and the whole agenda quickly falls apart. One young black guy got back in touch to tell me that it wasn't just Americans that had been taken, apparently there were these people called Barbary Pirates and they were enslaving British people too!! Who knew? Must admit I found it hilarious, there is reason for hope Neil..
Thank you for watching & sharing this . . . Everybody talks trash about the British these days 🙏🇬🇧 . . . Great channel guys😎👍
and for good reason. How do you get an empire? Buying one at your local supermarket? I dont think so. You get one by stealing, raping, pillaging, killing etc. Simple facts.
Yeh, I'm black British and I am so sick of the lies told about us..
Let them talk trash. They don’t like the truth. It deprives them of a target to hate on.
It is pleasing to see this as it is the British who are blamed for the slavery of Africans. It cost the British alot of money but what the video did not emphasise is the cost in young men.
17000-20000 sailors died stopping slavery.
the debt was paid off on 2015 i think. as ever, you're welcome.
The British East India Company banned slavery in India too.
The Indian Slavery Act, 1843, also known as Act V of 1843, was an act passed in British India under East India Company rule, which outlawed many economic transactions associated with slavery.
Yeah but the East India Company was responsible for their share barberry towards Indians so that's arguably irrelevant.
@@samuel10125 What kind of barberry did they eat?
@@mudra5114 ? Dude the East India Company is responsible for slot massacre's in India.
@@samuel10125 What rubbish. Only after the Mutiny maybe, after Bibighar Massacre. Life in British India was far better than before British conquest.

Need I go on.
The cost to the British taxpayer was equal to 40% of its gdp at the time. That equates to over 1.5 trillion today! No wonder it took over 100 years to pay off.
The reason the British decided to end slavery at no gain for themselves is due to their Christian beliefs and the viewpoint of the Western World that the INDIVIDUAL is the single most important unit of humanity and it must be respected as the Image of God.
How did their Christian beliefs work when they were the number one country involved in slavery, when they sent untold numbers into slavery and when Bristol, Liverpool, London, Manchester and many more places benefited from the money made from slavery?
@@cooldaddy2877 Every nation has fallen short on a humanitarian basis, history was a rough business. The point is it was those Christian beliefs that eventually ended the slave trade. Progress doesn't move at the fast speed you wished it did.
@@jonathonfrazier6622 Not every nation but an awful lot of them indeed.
@@cooldaddy2877 Every single nation had slavery at some point in time. No culture was exempt from it.
@@jonathonfrazier6622 Actually not correct....but if that were true.....Britains record was the worst. How can anyone argue against that?
Thank you for acknowledging our real past, it's broken my heart over the years knowing people see us another way, Britain has been multicultural for way over 2000 years...ever since the Romans came here..❤
Look up Britain's crusade against slavery.
You should do a video on the Indian caste system and how it effects your lives
But the Lads a Sikh that was a break from the Hindu Caste system!?
Yeah no need to educate Sikhs on the evils if the caste system, it was the reason many joined the gurus. Still it might be interesting to learn about it from their perspective and speak on an issue they're familiar with
Tell the 'untouchables' in India there is no slavery. India needs start self reflecting on its OWN failings. When i lived in India i was horrified to see how caste system acts in reality. The Nazis persecuted Jews for several years disgracefully. India still persecutes its lower castes.
Yes, but at least they are making strides to end the caste system since most Indians today don't adhere to it. So there is hope for a better future.
What I also don't understand is why many Indians believe the British started slavery in India when there is a long history of slavery within the sub-continent, especially by their Mughal overlords.
@@quietdavedevon Very simple, like most countries which had long history but were ruled by British, they felt humiliated. To win their face back, they glorify their history and blame every dark stuff to British. By such they feel much better for themselves.
Well, the modern Britain feel so from their colonialism past that they swallow any dirts thrown to them.
The British and Christian missionaries fought against caste system in India too. Soon Western educated Indians started opposing the caste system too. Ambedkar, leader of lower caste who was English educated and influenced by British liberal values also played a big part in fighting the caste system.
Try being a catholic in Glasgow, like a friend of mine, and getting refused a job because of it. It still goes on today. Try being from a poor council estate in Liverpool, like a cousin of mine, and try and get a job. As soon as an employer realises where he lives....no job. These are examples similar, but obviously not as bad, as a caste system.
The British tax payers finally paid off the huge debts incurred in 2015.
Over 150,000 slaves were freed by the British Navy and many 1000's of British sailors lost their lives doing it.
Unfortunately some countries still have very little feelings for human suffering, often declaring that it was because someone did something that went against their religious beliefs. In the middle east a girl who was raped was stoned to death and their were no constituencies to the rapist. I saw a video of a woman who had borrowed her husband's coat to get groceries and was stopped in the street because the coat was red. A religious leader was brought from a mosque and he decided that the soldier should shoot her right there in the street. The soldier used his AK-47 to blow her brains out....just because she was wearing the wrong coloured coat.
Currently we in the UK are being battered from right and left about our conduct during the slave trade. It seems we are being demonized by people with their own agenda, who have no understanding of history. My dad came to the UK from a former slave colony and he was proud to be British, Britain was the Motherland and any citizen of the Empire could settle here. The Britain of today is made up of many people from that Empire, who have integrated into this nation and are proud, like my dad to be British. We are a tolerant and fair people and we don't deserve these constant attacks.
I never new any of this at all at school and
I really think that the UK would do it again
if we needed to do it again.
Lets hope we don't. It took nearly two hundred years to finally succeed, from 1807, when the Anti Slavery legislation was passed through Parliament, to 1981 when the final country, Mauritania, West Africa, signed the Anti Slavery Treaty.
The Royal Navy formed the West Africa Squadron in 1807 and patrolled the West African coast until 1870 until the Slavers no longer came to that Coast. The West Africa Squadron then set sail for the East Coast of Africa and started all over again, patrolling the seas and Indian Ocean fighting the Slavers. Their final patrol there was in the 1970's when the last Arab country signed an Anti Slavery Treaty.
In 1850 such was the vast cost of this 'Crusade' the Government asked the people if they should carry on - especially as it was such an up hill task. They said if they continued they would have to take out Loans to do so. Even after hearing that taxes for everyone would have to be raised to pay for the Loans, the people said 'Yes'. The British Government announced in 2015 that the final 'Crusade' Loan had been paid. So everyone working in Britain until that date can be proud that they had a part in stopping slavery around the world. .
The cost in lives and injuries was very great - not just to our own Royal Navy's men, but to the Africans who worked with us. Some African men, who were rescued from Slavers, joined with the Royal Navy to help set other Africans free. The fights with the Slavers were brutal. Tropical diseases took their toll on the men of the West Africa Squadron too.
A very American slant on the ending of slavery at the beginning Britain had already abolished it 3 decades before the civil war in the states. The huge loss of life in that conflict was mainly due to disease and starvation not casualties of war.
king of England, William the Conqueror changed the course of England's history when he invaded in 1066. Laws of William the Conqueror - The ninth law stated that the sale of a man to anyone outside of the country would incur a fine payable in full to William. William I bans the slave trade. By 1087 the number of slaves falls by 25%. By the early 12th century, slavery ceases in England.
Of course but you also had to remember the Americans at the time wanted to stick it to British and do there own thing if they followed suit imagine how different things would of turned out
The Americans didn't want to pay their taxes , and expected the British army to protect them and the colonists were the ones that wanted to keep slavery
Many rich people in India continue to have slaves or “servants” as they prefer to call them
"In 1833, 40% of its national budget, was to buy freedom for all slaves in the Empire. The amount of money borrowed for the Slavery Abolition Act was so large that it wasn't paid off until 2015. This means that living British citizens helped pay to end the slave trade"
The abolition was also very demanding for the sailors enforcing the act; the Royal Navy committed up to 13% of its total manpower to its West Africa squadron, which in one year lost 25% of those serving on the station, mainly to disease. Overall, the nineteenth-century costs of suppression were bigger than the eighteenth-century profits.
Note that last line: the net effect of slavery on the accounts of the UK is negative. The country spent more on enforcing abolition than was ever made from conducting the trade.
The 2nd half of the 2nd video on "The Congress of Vienna, (1815)" is a good section of a video to understand why the British people were so antislavery and why they kept it was prominent in Britain amongst all citizen. There wa a Mass mmovement which is very inspiring, because it was Persistent amongst the public, despite the attempts by the Anti-Abolition Lobby Trying to Characterise The abolition Movement as making things worse for those slaves, as well as the rest of the world being against the abolition
You have to be inspired by this, but you must also Remember that exploitation continued by the Brits in the British Empire. Effectively they were making sure that every Person had worth, even if he had a low standard of living, so this was a dramatic improvement.
This is a Redeeming feature which other Empires Didn't have, but the Brits stillHave to Accept that Exploitation continued
Another take on this is that slavery is not racist, it is the strong taking advantage of the week for personal gain. Most Afro-Caribbean and east Asian folk in the UK migrated here after the 1950's when the nations of the Empire gained independence, they are not the descendants of slaves that were kept in the UK. Another subject I think you should take a look at is what happened in India and Pakistan after independence, it was probably one of the worst ethnic cleansing and mass genocides that has ever happened.
Another note: Somerset v Stewart case in 1772 'England is too pure an air for a slave to breathe in, therefore any slave is a freeman once setting foot upon English soil'
We in UK only finished paying the slavery debt a few years ago. But it could never have been possible to afford to pay full compensation to, for example, plantation workers in the Caribbean. As with the US plantation workers, that meant poverty and share cropping for released slaves. The whole slavery abolition world wide would not have got started without that hard decision but for many ex slaves it was not a bed of roses. That is why you see demands for reparations now, but the reality is there was no money from profits from so many centuries ago as it had been spent on stopping Hitler who would have killed all non whites eventually.
Not only that, but the reparations is a nonsense because these people would have no future before being transported, second the entire world has been guilty of slave trading but only one civilisation of ending it on a moral mission at no advantage for itself, third because black people were also slave owners (1/3 of of slave owners even in the US in New Orleans were black), fourth, what of the white Europeans (1.25 million of them) transported to Africa by Africans? This race-obsessed industry of anti-white racism is disgusting. They should be treated as every neo-Nazi is, yet because they're black, they get a free pass to be racist based on a fantasy that obviously never happened. No-one knows any history today, that is why all these kids and so many adults are brainwashed. I'd create a British Ended Slavery day and reverse this nonsense narrative based on ethnic minorities' and white apologists' ignorance.
@@richardwills-woodward5340 Indeed that annoys me as well. There are plenty of anti slavery hero's for statuesl. What I found surprising was the history of the 2000 or so black "Kroomen based in Liberia and later Sierra Leone that deserve a special mention and might give a more positive focus for our "woke". Perhaps statues dedicated to their help in those countries (and Caribbean concerning the end of slave supply) might be a reminder that the RN was vastly ahead of its time in allowing Africans to free fellow Africans with cannon and blade, A martial culture built around the "crusade" and effectively with their own boss reporting to each captain but fighting side by side sea and land with British sailors.
@@andrewcole4843 Not to mention the 'Sons of Africa', living in England in the late 1700's who were an important part of the Campaign to get an Act through Parliament - along with various Religious groups, especially the Quakers, University Professors/students and the massive organisational support of Britain's women who also helped carry the campaign to victory..... and so many, many more. Not to mention William Wilberforce. What about Granville Sharpe who privately bought Land in Sierra Leone so the RN had a 'safe place' to take rescued slaves which grew up to be FREETOWN. Without them nothing would have been done and the World would have carried on believing Slavery was just an everyday event. After all until Britain stood up against it, slavery was part of life for thousands upon thousands of years!
You mean, to be set free is not good enough? The British Government paid 'owners' for each slave just to set them free quickly and to prevent Britain being weighed down and delayed by vast numbers of legal wrangles in courts with slave owners. As 'slavery' was the norm everywhere, Britain would have lost each case hands down. Almost all societies around the Globe, (one of the exceptions being Britain), saw owning slaves as a quite normal, everyday practice - and certainly not immoral. The British did everything they could to help the freed slave. By doing it the way they did, freed slaves were documented as free. I believe, (but you should check) that there are also records held in - say the West Indies - that show the amount of money each slave was given by the Brits to help him/her get started.) It wasn't a great deal, but some were able to buy a small plot of land. Many ex slaves were offered and accepted employment from their ex owners. My own ancestors living around that time in England were given no such help and some ended up in the poorhouse. Just saying.
The English had a quirky way of looking at slavery, William the Conqueror in 1082 AD passed a law making slavery illegal in England. The penalty was only a fine, and it could be argued that William did this only to raise revenue, because his treasury was near empty, but the law stayed on the statutes, and slavery disappeared in England. Eventually being imposed in all part's of the British Isles. So when the British Empire continued to expand, the British came into contact with parts of the world, where slavery was excepted practice, the conflict between what the British practiced at home and what they found abroad, was always going to lead to a war on slavery, but initially when the British Empire was a small affair, the British tried to fit into the world as they found it, but once they had power to effect change, they did throw themselves into stamping out slavery, a practice that conflicted with British Law.
The British empire ended slavery.
After benefiting from it for centuries, yes.
@@charlie7mason No, it had been frowned upon for centuries. Only a few bad apples were into slavery.
@@annother3350 Then why did the government pay reparations to slaveowners?
@@charlie7mason The British government paid certain slave owners off to abolish slavery of course!!
These were 3rd party companies -- the overwhelming majority of which were not based in Britain and britain perhaps didnt want to go to war with. It also ensured the slaves would not be killed, as often happened, say, when British ships challenged slave ships at sea (the slavers would often push slaves overboard)
Therefore the 'British Empire' as such, had not been benefitting from slavery for a long long time.
This was just one tactic of a multi-pronged approach to end slavery.
@@charlie7mason Everyone in the world benefited from slavery, you idiot. It was as ubiquitous as drinking water. The British put an end to it at great cost to themselves and, for the most part, alone.
The reason you believe that slavery is evil is because the British believed it was evil. Stupid boy.
Slavery SADDLEY continues today there's an estimated 30 million slaves 🙁😢😠
In the 1800s 25 to 30% of Royal Navy crews were freed African slaves who had been offered the the chance to join the navy to fight against the slavers who raped, murdered and enslaved their people and many obviously were more than happy to have the chance to wreak revenge upon the vile slavers, proof of their brave service can be seen on the carvings and statues around Nelsons column in London, IMO this ranks alongside our fight against the Nazis and makes me proud to be British.
For those who REALLY know their history (without googling it) The Captain of the British ship that sailed into BrAzil to free slaves there was a Scottsman called Thomas Cocharine (previously famous for The Battle of Basque Roads) btw im not Scottish i'm a Yorkshireman! :D
Even a southerner from the South-East has heard of the derring-do of the Scottish Captain Thomas Cochrane. Not surprised he was the Brit that sailed into Brazil to free the slaves.
You might be interested in reacting to Battle of Saragarhi 1897 posted by The History Chap.
The British did something right? Good Lord.
I know! Quite remarkable isn't it? India should be looking at the caste system, extremes of poverty and modern slavery in India.
Britain did so much good in the world when it came to stuff that wasn’t colonialism. You do realise Britain’s history isn’t just colonialism - that’s only a bit of it. I’m not excusing colonialism of course BUT britain did lots of good especially with the Industrial Revolution. If it hadn’t the world right now would be very far behind in technology and modern invention. The down side of Industrial Revolution hit English culture - a lot of English culture and regional culture hasn’t been preserved. Also are u forgetting WW1 and WW2 and Napoleon
@@lydiamichaels1976 Colonialism was bad & Britain did a lot of bad things, but would India be the worlds largest democracy without Britains example?
Or would it still be a loose collection of princes & small kingdoms with an abundance of slaves throughout?
Look up the story of HHS Black Joke, former Brazilian slave ship Henriqueta captured by the British Navy turned into a gunship and sent to join the West Africa Squadron in her five years of service she saved thousands of slaves.
The British were so obsessed with the abolition of slavery because we knew even then how wrong slavery is. Someone had to take a stand against it otherwise we would most likely still have as much slavery today as we did back then.
Britain at that time was the leading world power with the world's largest navy. Who else could have done it?
So we had both the ideal of abolishing slavery and the tools to carry that mission out.
It would be wrong to say we did not ourselves take part in the slave trade. We did. But I think we came good in the end by realising how wrong it is and by becoming the world leaders in abolishing slavery. We bribed, encouraged, threatened and fought many other nations who were opposed the ending of slavery.
Yet this part of the history of slavery is never taught in schools. The selective teachings of the facts of slavery, which omit certain facts that don't fit the narrative, are designed to portray only one version of slavery.
we brits have done a LOT of bad things, we know that, but we eventually do the RIGHT thing, it may take time, but its best to do it RIGHT, and slow than quick and wrong. We Brits are not totally the bad guys, glad to see you are getting the mind that while we did wrong we also did RIGHT. same as every country they all did bad things,
The Atlantic slave trade was terrible. The Arab slave trade in Africa was horrible. But arguably the worst Slavery and slave trade the world has seen was from the Islamic colonization invasion of India from the 9th century onwards.
so people that have seen this do they still think that the UK should pay countries some money for the slave trade or should the ancestors of slave pay something to the UK government, I know what the UK people would say don't worry about it it was a long time ago.
It will be nice to see a documentary about the slavery that is part of indian hindu culture even today ,the treatment of shudra,chandala and dalits ,I think india needs to be exposed to the whole World for the kind of culture and oppression that takes place in india and is considered by them as a normal thing...
Christian religious fervour in the 19th century drove the British to do this.
No, there were several factors that drove the British to end slavery such as earning a steady income for freeing slaves and that any slave that touched English soil was automatically free. Christianity may have played a part over time, but it was not a leading factor.
Yes
@@aidenharvey3784 we spent £millions & thousands of lives ending it, wheres the profit?
William Wilberforce.
If the British Empire stood for anything, as a general principle, it was the end of slavery. Even when the British intervened in India, the Hindus/Sikhs were favored over the Muslims because of that religion being synonymous with slavery for centuries.
It was also why the British and the Sikhs forged such a partnership in India, because the 3 golden rules of Sikhism were so similar to the principles of of British Protestantism: prayer/meditation, honest hard work, and community service/sharing as equals. Sikhism is very similar to the religion and chivalry practiced by the brotherhoods of the Templars and Knights Hospitaller.
A match made in heaven one might say :).
Thomas Sowell..... irreplaceable. Thank God he did this instead work of photography.
This is not the original video that explains about the abolishment of slaves.
Caste systems in India ARE oppressive to people in the lower castes. But it is NOT strictly "slavery".
It is similar to the "class" system in the UK; but in a much poorer country!
Until recently, India's standard "Quality of Life" was NOT EVEN COMPARABLE to the UK.
Even now, it has a very long way to go. But things are improving.
Many people in India have achieved a higher status than the people around them; mostly by employing poorer people (lower castes) to create profit.
So there is a class in India, who live luxurious lifestyles; but it is largely funded by the lower castes (i.e. the "WORKING" classes!)
Living in a much poorer country, the "investor"/"industrial boss" classes are MUCH MORE ZEALOUS, in their pursuit of personal luxury.
So they are MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE to exploit the lower castes for their own advantage.
This maintains and foster the continuation of the caste system; which is analogous with the richer British "class" system.
You would almost never find a British "nobleman" or "high flyer" eating lunch with a plumber, builder or other members of the working class.
It is not as "polarised" as in India; but it still exists.
British ended it
Let us not forget that after the invasion of Libya people were sold on Facebook.
Does anyone know the link to the original video please TIA
czcams.com/video/mVyM47hOdLE/video.html
This is one of video of Thomas Sowell. You can find many in CZcams.
TS, 92 years old black American scholar, is the most wise man in the world. Not one of the most wise.
Thus video us called. Thomas Sowell title THE TRUTH ABOUT SLAVERY.
a wish someone would explain to the Mrs, slavery is over
Imagine being a eunuch in a harem where your new master has your former wife as his new plaything.
Sadly without us Brits (or Britishers 🤣) the World would have been a much broker place, and sadly we did profit from it (or some) See the World now though, as opposed to what it is, New Empire new words for calling things!
Why does she keep saying we put slavery in India we don't all know that Bab, it was already they're prior sadly and slavery is still a thing it just happens to not be Trans Atlantic and just involving Black Lads and Lasses!?
I’m asking if you can stop shouting over the video whilst it’s playing please. Neither what you were saying nor the narrator words were heard at that point so what you said was lost and the information you were reacting to was lost. Quite off putting.
I was shocked Because I was watching your video I though I would look up to see if India had slaves in the past even though I learnt some about our history in your country WHY was I shocked because I came across articles that your country has modern day slavery, How can such a up and coming country still have slaves. I will be researching more about your modern day slavery as I it was not something I ever thought that India would have yes I know a bit about your cast system but slavery
Before the Brits stopped enslaving people, (just after they lost a good chunk of their American colonies, but I have been *assured* by British peopel that was unrelated), the British were the second 'best' enslavers in the world. A quarter of all Trans-Atlantic slaves were brought in by the British. Only the Portuguese have shipped more slaves (half of all Trans-Atlantic slaves) than Britain. Since the British and the Portuguese were stalwart allies, allied during their slaver days because of their slaver ways, it is no lie to claim that they among themselves controlled the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Brits seem to forget this bit and only loudly beat their chest over what they did after they good millions of people's blood on their hands.
Lies
slaves were castrated in europe during the same time period. DR S doesn't mention that.
