Slavery was abolished in Great britain in 1066, the words to rule Britannia means while your under the wing of Great Britain no person will be a slave. Thats why the Americans hated it because we treat people equal, its on the crazy left that say we are racist, a true brit is the most compasionate person ever, we love everyone if your nice we are nice, but im glad you realised we not as bad as everybody thinks, peace and love from the uk
actually slavery was not abolished in england until 2010, the anti slavery day act 2010, while you are right, but slavery realy started to end from around 1814 ish, it was delayed however till around 1833 when it took full force to end slavery, at a high cost to the uk, where the cost has just been paid for through our taxes, it was paid for by 2015

I have seen very little compassion in my 66 years here. Mostly I see hatred and intolerance for most people actually, regardless of race, religion, age, education, class. People are rude, poorly educated, lazy, selfish and ill mannered.
you tell a shockingly sad story of wearing camoflauge that astounds me. This will never happen in the UK. Soldiers do not police the streets here. Even a policeman would instantly lose his job and probably spend some years in prison for such offences against a woman. This includes the man who stripped off your headwear when you were a child. We call this sexual assault here and it is not tolerated. We, in the UK, sometimes forget and take for granted just how much safer it is for women in our country.
It goes deeper than that, a common phrase of the time in england (with slight variants) was, "I like those American troops, but I am not keen on those white troops they brought with them." The reason being that the Black troops were quiet, well mannered and polite, like the British. The white troops tended to be loud, brash and arrogant, all things the British despised.
I'm not so keen on the black troops one left my 16 year old Aunt pregnant and would have nothing to do with her and was posted back to America where she had to live the shame of being a unmarried mother with a coloured child you can imagine how much she suffered in the 1940s and 50s
