Britain did not “buy freedom for all slaves” - they compensated slave owners for the abolition of slavery. This was not legally necessary, and slaves did not receive such compensation. UK taxpayers, including the families of former slaves, were paying this debt until 2015. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_Compensation_Act_1837
