Original Note:
The note is correct. The British did more than any nation to end the global slave trade at a cost of 17,000 sailors lives. Also fyi England banned slavery in 1102, so well before Spain. England is not Britain. https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2021/october/20/20211020-protector-slavery. https://humanprogress.org/centers-of-progress-pt-23-london-emancipation/#:~:text=In%201102%2C%20the%20ecclesiastical%20Council,all%20but%20vanished%20in%20England.
