Original Note:
The British government paid a great deal in both monetary terms and in lives to end the slave trade. They paid 20m to free 800,000 slaves and a third of it's yearly tax income then worked to end slave trade using the force of the navy, costing many sailors lives. https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/Britains-Role-Ending-Slavery-Worldwide/
