A New Approach to Debt Management – Sacking The Bankers With The Bradbury

The Ghost of Sir Edward Coke

“Therefore the best fortress is to be found in the love of the people, for although you may have fortresses they will not save you if you are hated by the people.”
― Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

English Common Law prevented outright slavery in England the colonies were not so lucky.

Slavery was abolished transformed by the

Slavery Abolition Bill 1833

Purposes of the Act

 
The purposes of the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 were described in the preamble to the Bill as:

1. “the abolition of slavery throughout the British colonies”;
   

2. “for promoting the industry of the manumitted slaves”; and
   

3. “for compensating the persons hitherto entitled to the services of such slaves”.

The second purpose was achieved by providing for a period of apprenticeship.

The third purpose was achieved by appropriating £20 million — a huge sum in those days — to compensate slave owners.

The total number of military and civilian casualties in World War I was over 37 million.
