Just read the article. It was certainly not trying to be objective, but I've often wondered about the details of the anti-slavery campaign that was waged by the British government at what I'm sure was great expense. Well ahead of the rest of Europe, although I'm not sure that all countries in Europe were engaged in slaves or the trade of slaves. But for sure the American world was, top to bottom.

Now I've looked over the Spectator web site and I can see that it frames an extremely different point of view from most of the people in this part of the Mudcat world. But it's not obvious to me that it's extremist in the sense that say Breitbart or Drudge is. And the article itself covers real dates and events that can be branded as false if indeed they are.

There is much that is being said and written that will eventually fall by the wayside of useful ideology NOT. Some of it will be filtered through these threads as well.
