Are you not even reading above?
Why are you talking to me about 1833, some sixty years later? Sixty years too late? The Americans were leading this in 1774.
You’re too late.
From Dr. Sowell.
A very readable and remarkable new book that has just been published — “Bury the Chains” by Adam Hochschild — traces the history of the world’s first anti-slavery movement, which began with a meeting of 12 “deeply religious” men in London in 1787.The dozen men who formed the world’s first anti-slavery movement saw their task as getting their fellow Englishmen to think about slavery — about the brutal facts and about the moral implications of those facts.
Even more remarkable, Britain took it upon itself, as the leading naval power of the world, to police the ban on slave trading against other nations. Intercepting and boarding other countries’ ships on the high seas to look for slaves, the British became and remained for more than a century the world’s policeman when it came to stopping the slave trade.
This is my final post on this subject and I will read no more of your responses.
Have a nice day. And brush up on your history while you're at it.
