England enabled slavery to continue for years, because they controlled the high seas trading, and most slaves came to the US via British ships, before Wilberforce was able to end their participation in the slave trade. Slavery was outlawed in England, but not slave trading. Without English ships slavery would have most likely died away a lot earlier due to lack of slaves.

Your crazy bile is disturbing. My people were literally shipped here as white slaves from the UK. So what? It is an interesting piece of history, no more. Iff the British wish to have a monarchy what business of yours is that? Nations ought be able to have what ever form of government they wish and we should mind our own business. If you don’t wnt to be bothered with the funeral of Elizabeth II turn the TV off. I cannot penetrate the mentality of people who use history to manufacture fake and irrelevant grudges, and you are one that does. Your bile spewing is the same as many of the ranting comments posted here about Ukrainian Nazis and the horrors of Vladimir Putin. Equally silly, irrelevant and very much none of our business.
