It is important to note as well that slavery and the slave trade, while illegal in many nations now, is still alive and well in around half of the whole world, with an estimates 1.1 million people living in modern slave-like situations in the United States alone. The fight is never over, especially when capitalism is in charge.
Well that was a consequence of abolishing slavery where they had to pay slave owners for compensation for the slaves... It a consequence not a reason for abolishing slavery 🙂 I hope you enjoyed the video!
@@HiddenPapyrusyou said they were financially motivated to stop slavery. while in reality it cost Britain far more to stop slavery than they could ever gain from it. strange, right? 🤤🤜🤛👊✊️👈👆🤌🤏🫳🫴👏🤜🤛💩 my man!💩
Resistance to slavery was much older in Europe. Many nations did not allow slavery in their home country since the late Middle Ages. But confronted with the existing slavery across oceans and the native Americans dying from European diseases, they decided on double standards. It did not spread from Europe like their ships, trade, culture and technology did. The Dutch calvinists that founded the WIC also believed that alll people were children of god and slavery was a nasty practice of the evil catholics, and in the Dutch Republic itself everybody was free by law, including the blacks living there. But in the late 1630s the more morally flexible calvinists had taken over and had come up with the sons of Ham myth for the biblical excuse, basically to be able to keep the plantation colonies captured from the Portuguese running. The British didn't like slavery at home either, but to change existing systems you need indeed an economic and geopolitical window of opportunity that only came at the height of the British Empire's power.
True. Also, why would the averge European, who was on average fed less than the slaves in the south, have the political where with all to care about something that was happening on the other side of the globe? Even in North America European immigrants regularly lived smaller than the slaves in the south.

@@HiddenPapyrus hey can you do a video on how enlightenment secret societies helped shape modern European society ? I’ve always been interested in the perfectabillist order , free masonry, rosicrucians and its ties to how capitalists over came the feudal societies of the past . Most of Adam weishaupts recommendations came to pass in one form or another- and the Rosicrucian manifesto was written at a time when none of the demands listed seemed even remotely possible .
Excellent video, an important development link was also established with the Americans in the northern maritime states who likewise shifted towards manufacturing.
Thanks I appreciate the support! And I have a question if you don't mind answering, did you find it difficult to followup with the visual texts and pay attention to the audio part at the same time? I'm still experimenting with the idea of creating small comic style historical videos.
@@HiddenPapyrus Personally, I would go with just the pictures. It will flow better with your narration. But my style of doing things is very different, honestly.
Think you need to change the title to trans Atlantic slavery caise there's a world of other salvery that was going on during and after the time frame you have mentioned which you have disregarded
Well I said that I will look into why slavery is abolished in the case of Britain as this abolishment established a precedent that other countries followed
At the time there weren't enough indentured servants to go around, and they couldn't cope with the intense and frequently lethal work if industrialised farms like the Caribbean sugar plantations or the American tobacco and cotton fields.
Interesting. Black America must drive racial codification to unify African tribes and clans, while Africa must ignite tribal pride in Black American gangs to move beyond civil rights struggles and claim sovereignty. A #BlackCentric Sovereignty Alliance (BSA) or similar entity will emerge as a global unification force, strengthening ties between African and Black American communities for power and self-determination.
I like the spirit of this video, but the conclusion that the world is closed “that” chapter on slavery because of Britain’s leadership is plain wrong. To not mention the ultimate catalyst: the Haitian revolution - and its impact on Britain’s decision to ‘LEAN’ into abolishing slavery is a big gap in your video. Keep in mind, after the French’s initial defeat by Haitians, Britain tried to take the island only to be defeated as well. Then they pivoted to this supposed moral high ground. It’s the Haitian revolution that was the catalyst of ending slavery, not Britain. Britain’s attitude was classic: “if you can’t beat em’- join em’ “.
I totally agree with you but I didn't want to increase the video's length more than that as my goal is to make short historical videos... But I've covered similar events such as the maroon wars of Jamaica if you want to take a look🙂
@@HiddenPapyrus the cross pollination of these various events is indeed challenging to cover. My suggestion is to drop little clues that can be used to point viewers to another video that will cover that little clue in a more full manner. The notion that Britain sought to abolish slavery out of the kindness of their hearts or purely economic reasons just didn't sit well at all. Except for the very costly slave revolts, it was perfectly economical, and beat the notion of expending capital to build the infrastructure that ushered in the industrial revolution. Had the slave revolts never happened (along with the high price tag of maintaining control), the colonial powers would have never had to find other means to replace the slave labor.

Slavery wasn't abolished, it just changed its name. Most victims of it jump at the chance to be shackled because they're sold the idea that this is how they will have a "career".
It really helped that the British Parliament really did not free the slaves, they bought them from their owners and than freed them, would not have happened if the rich did not get their coin.
💯... That's exactly what happened and they got their coin alright... Britain continued to pay these debt well into the 21st century not even that, they also payed for slaves that were owned by non British nationals... But this is one of the consequences of slavery abolition and not the reasons why they did it. I hope you enjoyed the video! If you did please consider liking, subscribing and maybe check out our other videos!🙂
Arguably, the British abolition of slavery was one of the biggest turning points in human history.

Great video. Keep it up

You failed to mention the money! The British national debt that wasn't cleared until sometime in the 1990s.

@HiddenPapyrus if it's a choice between that and slavery continuing, then that's a price well worth paying.

Yes it's just the timing was perfect to implement the abolishment during the early 19th century

The Portugal and Spain are more related whith muslins That the others Europeans because Alandaluz
The strategic move wasn't why Britain abolished slavery.
What the whole video it was a mix of 4 reasons

Slavery
>
Feudalism
>
Chattel slavery
>
Wage slavery
Kinda depressing 😂
Wage slavery? That's socialist propaganda. Gtfo of here with that BS.
Many non chattel slavery was much much better than employment.
Many wealthy people would by people to expertize them personally.

@ Personally, I would say either make the video completely academic/historical or make it a full comedic history, blending the two is quite difficult.
Thanks for your comment. Do you think If they were just texts with a serious tone it would be ok? Or you would rather just the pictures?

That exactly what i was saying
Didn't need slaves when they had indentured servitude.
At the time there weren't enough indentured servants to go around, and they couldn't cope with the intense and frequently lethal work if industrialised farms like the Caribbean sugar plantations or the American tobacco and cotton fields.
So you are saying slavery was banned only after it became beneficial to do so?😂 Jokes aside good video
