Maybe I should have said first "notable" nation because of Haiti, but whatever. Point still stands.…
For starters, when I say the government was coerced and abolished slavery for self-preservation, rioting of slaves was one of many factors, and I’m not saying their government was a homogeneous entity. They had a lot of internal discourse in a one-party majority state. The Whigs were a minority for a while beforehand, and the Tories did require public pressure to create the necessary push for anti-slavery policy. The Tories needing that pressure was how I mean it when I say their government required coercion and did it out of self-preservation, because the Tories would be entirely voted out after a massive public uproar against slavery. That’s why the Tories were so on board with the legislation out of nowhere despite previously being pro-slavery, because logistical, preservational, and social reasons pressured them, and convinced a large number of them too. The people focused on humanity, but the Tories often did not, and that amount of dragging their feet was manifested via the many times that still pro-slavery mariners and soldiers ignored their rules. They were a mixed bag, and when I refer to it being “purely” self preservation (as you claim I am, despite that merely being a factor to me), I am referring to their government’s internal sense of self preservation and selfishness, as following the public’s wants was more of a selfish matter rather than a moral one a lot of the time.

When the British destroyed the slave trade, though it was a good thing, it dashed their economy, leaving the African continent open and vulnerable to attack from a deal the British… Read more
