Sorry but you are wrong. The english, while banning slavery in their own land, did nothing to prevent their citizens from profiting from and running businesses profiting from the slave trade. The UK has billions of dollars within it's economy made from the slave trade.

America didn't have ships. America was not kidnapping people from africa. That was Europe (including the UK).

Just because you didn't have slaves during that time (although you have plenty of slavery in your own history) does not absolve you from the responsibility of creating the system which enabled slavery in North and South America.

Get it right.
