The Brits did more than everyone else combined to exterminate the slave trade. How about we give ‘em a pass.
Instead why don’t you go after the Moslems, Black and Arab, for their part in the slave trade? They did their own raiding for slaves (unlike the Brits), took far larger numbers of slaves, and continue to practice slavery to THIS VERY DAY.
“The Brits did more than everyone else combined to exterminate the slave trade. How about we give ‘em a pass.”
So America should be blamed for that which the guilt lies elsewhere?
That’s simply unacceptable. The timeline doesn’t match your “pass.” That someone did something _later_ doesn’t absolve prior crimes.
We’re being forced into this position by the progressives, don’t forget that. The issue is, how do we respond. Should America be blamed for that which didn’t start with us? It’s that simple.
