Be happy to, as one of them. Sometimes the Irish do the same crap as the blacks. "Oh, the [English/Whites/insert privileged groups here] started it by enslaving [insert victim group here]."
The Celts were more than happy to take slaves, as were the picts, scots, Danes, Angles, Saxons, Chinese, Indians, Africans, and every other group on earth over the last 100,000 years.
it's a natural human condition, often temporary but not always, throughout history.
Yes. Vikings traded slaves they captured on raids and slavery was also a punishment for serious crimes. The word "Thrall" comes from the old Norse word for "slave". Big part of their culture.
Slavery has had a very long history in human affairs. Bartering in people was a norm (although people tended to not barter their own people -- but there would be no restrictions on people outside the tribal group). And, it hasn't always been of the type we think of today in the southern American states. We could even make the argument that serfdom was a form of slavery -- there was a serf class in many societies that was based on family lineage.
We should all perhaps quit worrying the bone of "who enslaved who" one hundred years ago (everyone was pretty much guilty); all agree that it is an ugly practice that we should eradicate; and be thankful we aren't ok with it as much as we used to be (but perhaps a little too comfortable with it still).
Yes, Everybody took slaves. They took other Vikings as slaves, they took other Europeans as slaves, they took pretty much anybody the conquered as slaves, similar to the native Americans. It was a normal form of human interaction.
with the exception of "the Territories in the Possession of the East India Company"
That's a heck of an asterisk ^_^
I don't think it needs to devolve into specific country vs specific country. The take away, for me, is that "white" culture in general pushed this new social structure of not having slaves...the practical problems that slavery solved for thousands of years still existed, and so western culture developed other solutions for the labor problem (industrial revolution, working class, taxes, etc).
wrong. While Wikipedia is often suspect, the general facts are correct.
"The Blockade of Africa began in 1808 after the United Kingdom outlawed the Atlantic slave trade, making it illegal for British ships to transport slaves. The Royal Navy immediately established a presence off Africa to enforce the ban, called the West Africa Squadron. Although the ban initially applied only to British ships, Britain negotiated treaties with other countries to give the Royal Navy the right to intercept and search their ships for slaves.[1] The 1807 Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves abolished the intercontinental slave trade in the United States but the ban was not widely enforced."
Sorry but you’re being an idiot. The slave trade mostly ended in the West due to the Royal Navy’s new orders in the early 1800s to stop slave ships and liberate the slaves on board.
I don't like to see pedes shitting on other Western countries.
Especially because it's not really true. Never seen a police precinct or a courthouse or a chunk of a city taken over by commies in England, so who's the cuck?
Nice comment, but really, all one needs to do to acquire a proper flavor of how the world really worked (indeed, still works as demonstrated by the NWO's view of humanity) is referenced by two sources.
The first is Ivanhoe, a fictional novel by Scott about post 1066 Britain and the treatment of 'native' Saxons as 2nd class citizens at the hands of the Normans. (Of course, the Saxons themselves displaced the Celts, and so on ...)
The other is just a smattering of Cecil Rhodes and his views/opinions about blacks and other conquered peoples.
Or, perhaps the easiest and most direct example is a simple review of law French. The use of language unique to a ruling class demonstrates quite succinctly how law and government are utilized to control vast numbers of subservient masses.
Some say a percentage of slaves in North America originated from certain countries in the Caribbean. No trans-Atlantic travel required. Many say native Jamaicans and Haitians were erased from existence hundreds of years ago....but some say that they still exist to this day, living in great numbers on those islands.
To be fair, we ended it here. The Brits started ending it (or at least the African, Arab slave trade) elsewhere decades earlier
The Irish would like to have a word...
Nah man, just servants.

Yes, Vikings had slaves. Status, objective value, useful labor. Take what you can, give nothing back.
They certainly sold them -- often to Muslims.

No, it's Britain that was the first nation on earth to abolish slavery.
If taxes are slavery then we're all still slaves to this day.

It's not a handful, a big part of the Royal Navy was involved in ending slavery.
British taxpayers kept paying for the debt of that until very recently.
Self destruction? Check out our demographics vs. theirs lol

I wonder why they stopped in the early 1800's. What could have possibly happened several years before that?

It's a fascinating "conspiracy theory" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ0XnhjGA9Y
Because they couldn't make on profit on slavery in the American colonies anymore.
Regardless of why, they did it 50 years before we did
They did it because of us.
