he just DM me too. All I did before he followed me was to criticize and correct some facts in a tweet he had re-tweeted that was discussing the 'glory' of the british empire and how, that person- felt it stopped slavery worldwide
i let them know how the English King, Charles II, needing funds, as Parliament cut off the royals as a condition of Restoration of the Monarchy- cancelled the private Colonial Charters, like the one for the Virginia Company. then made them directly ruled by the Crown
he then took over the small british slave trade, gave it to his brother the Prince of WALES AND increased the numbers of humans they trafficked from Africa to America- taxing all portions of the trade. All while demanding an increase in production of Virginia farms to force the owners to look for more labor, a remedy the Crown provided with the slave trade
and they didn't 'end slavery' worldwide. Parliament essentially purchased humans to "free" them from their owners all across the empire (except India). Giving those who were exploiting slave labor vast sums of money that many of them invested into new business that made them HUGE financial empires for their families
that debt parliament incurred to the british taxpayer was only paid off fairly recently as well
