Original Note:
The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 afforded that compensation was paid to slave owners, not to victims of the slave trade. The claim that this debt was only fully repaid is based on a technicality as to how the British Government financed their debt through undated gilts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_Abolition_Act_1833
