The. British Empire , especially the Royal Navy did more to end slavery around the world than any other organization in history.

As I have already stated, this is incorrect in the timeline. The 1830s and beyond are irrelevant here.

No major institution anywhere systematically delegitimated the institution of slavery anywhere until the Christians - especially Protestants, and especially British MProtestants - did so. Essentially the Christians of the American South were uniquely situated to be the last to “get" - that is, accept - the word.

Published argumentation defending slavery imposed by Christians never occurred anywhere except in the American South. For the simple reason that that was the only place where slavery by Christians both was entrenched and was under Christian moral attack.
