>in 1835 the bongs abolished slavery>in doing so they compensated every slave owner for lost property>that compensation cost the bongs 40% of their treasury's annual income/5% of GDP>to pay for this the bongolian government took out a loan>the bongs paid back the loan in full in 2015>the bongs were literally servicing debt to bankers for money borrowed to pay slavers for 180 years
>>18225780Sounds better than a civil war and 600,000 deaths
More than the financial obligation, the deportation that would surely accompany such a scheme. That's the important part.
>>18225824>deportationThere were no slaves in the UK and there haven't been since the Vikings
>>18225830Oh yes. I was referring to the American situation.
>in doing so they compensated every slave owner for lost propertyI know it doesnt change a lot of things, but wasn't the compensation partial compared to the abolition in the Cape colony?
Lmfao, finally someone else posts about this. I used to research this.Basically, it was like 6,000 people in the Uk, landed gentry, some of whom were politicians.It was just a gigantic rug pull LMFAO!
>>18225788Not really. Slave owners jusy hopped to forced labour on top of making use of indentured servitude. The latter of which was used before and during the transatlantic slave trade in the new world colonies.
>>18225830Only by the late 1800s lol. That and capital found ways to extract the same amount of labour while paying less into the workers in the UK
>hardcore zionist>named Benjamin Da Israelican't make this shit up
>>18225937this also shows the argument that the government couldn't afford to do more to help during the irish famine was complete nonsense. If they wanted to they could have found the money. Which they did for the Crimean War, which was also insanely expensive.
>>18226339>>hardcore zionist?Disraeli died in 1881 and the First Zionist Congress was in 1897
