Our Leftists’ narrative is that the USA was responsible for SLAVERY!!1!, ignoring the facts illustrated in this article, ignoring the fact that Muslim slave raids were the scourge of Europe for hundreds of years. This only ended in the 19th Century - with much American help towards that in the late 1700s, in America’s first wars post-Indepedence, the Barbary Wars against Muslim slavers.
That our domestic Left ignores this reality because they are not interested in historical truth, they are interested in using Critical Theory to weaken and destroy American ideals.
I enjoy reading British history, but while they may have ended slavery earlier than here, the Empire made a ton of money by treating the people whose countries they occupied just as bad as slaves. And when problems arose within those other countries, like India, the British packed their bags and ran. And for a country that likes to throw around the fact that they ended slavery in the early 1800’s, they had their share of race problems through the years, and they’ve yet to elect a person of color as Prime Minister. For all their high and mighty airs, there is still a class system in Great Britain.
