You couldn't be more wrong . Slavery did not start under the confederate flag . Also for your info 88% of the confederate soldiers who fought in the civil war came from homes that had no slaves or any intrest in the slavery issue . So you are an uninformed ignorant student of American history .

The Brits were quite content with slavery in the colonies right up until the revolution when they declared them free because they needed an instant fighting force.

Interestingly enough the Brits made blacks a lot of promises that they reneged on. They promised that they would never be returned to slavery and that they would get them out of America. At the end of the war the Brits only took some 300 blacks to Britain with them. Some 3000 headed for Canada on their own and most who boarded British ships ended up being returned to slavery in the Caribbean.

I've always been a little irked that the Brits get a pass when it comes to blame for slavery.
