Original Note:
While it s true that the abolitionist movement in Britain lead to the outlawing of the slave trade, it only came after it had transported 3,000,000 Africans to America and the Caribbean. The poacher turned game keeper and a considerably richer one at that. https://heritagecollections.parliament.uk/stories/the-transatlantic-slave-trade/
