      I've seen takes that if the Revolution hadn't happened slavery would've ended earlier and unfortunately it's almost certainly untrue

      Britain was able to abolish slavery in 1833 by *buying out* its remaining slaveowners to the tune of 20 million pounds

      People like Benedict Cumberbatch's great great great grandma were very well compensated for abolition and remained rich as a result

      If the US states had remained British the number of slaveowning citizens and the value of their "human property" would've been much higher

      Britain was able to abolish slavery *because* the cotton trade had been outsourced to America

      Which is why when the Civil War broke out they were low key on the South's side

      A big controversy at the time was that emancipation didn't come with any "compensation" to former slaveowners

      That was both for moral reasons among genuine abolitionists and practical -- that much cash didn't exist

      The estimated value of enslaved workers to the South was astronomical

      Which isn't a defense of slaveowners -- fuck them -- but the North also didn't care abt compensating the freedmen for their unpaid labor

          In that sense the South's complaint that the war was a big transfer of wealth to the North was vaguely accurate

          (The most wronged parties of course predictably being former slaves who didn't ever get that "40 acres and a mule")
