There’s about a 30 year difference between what Great Britain did and what the US did when it comes to ending the slave trade and slavery in general. Hardly makes a difference although Brits wrap themselves up in the Union Jack when squawking about their fight against the peculiar institution. They are only 30 years better than America and we lost close to one million men in ending it.

That is the point exactly! The British abolished it through the efforts of strong Christians (and others), peaceably via legislation. Many so called Southern US 'Christian' preachers used the OT and NT regulation of slavery as justification of slavery, so it took a MASSIVE war to end it.
