In this video I react to British anti-slavery patrols and the West Africa Squadron. I had previously learned a little about Britain's crusade against slavery, but I had no idea just how incredible the effort truly was.
The British Royal Navy and their West Africa Squadron were responsible for freeing an estimated 150,000 slaves in the early to mid 1800s. Many sailors gave their lives and Britain gave its time and wealth to the cause of freedom. I think this is something all Brits should be incredibly proud of.
