| 22nd April 2008 Jerry | Re Slavery in UK - From: over to Ireland >>A little history - England woke up to slave abolition much later >>than in the US. It also may’ve been behind the times on black >>suffrage…not sure. You've got to be kidding! Parliament passed the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833. This act gave all slaves in the British Empire their freedom. The British government paid compensation to the slave owners. There has never been a colour bar on suffrage. |
