Maybe because generous compensation

The Emancipation Proclamation was the largest single
uncompensated property grab in our history.

I meant that Britain didnt have a civil war over slavery
because the slave owners were generously compensated.

But the other possibility is that the slaves were all in the
colonies, not in Britain itself, and mostly in the Bahamas etc.

Then again, those holding the property were acting
in a highly immoral manner


The South had an evil streak in it

Or decided that the civil war was about a lot more than just slavery.

That is an excuse to down play a noble act on the part of
the united states. There are those that wish to wash away
all our achievements and revise our history.

I was commenting on why the south chose to go to war.

The Brits had their own problems. Tacky's Revolt was bad enough but the
Baptist War in '31 and '32 finished the job and led to the Slavery
Abolition Act of 1833.

As trivia, Tacky had a lucrative business selling slaves to the British
until a neighboring tribe captured him and sold him to the British. I
don't think he has a statue anywhere but it's an interesting question.
What do you do with a black slave trader who wound up a black slave in
some sort of cosmic karma?

bought captured blacks from other blacks

Slave revolts are a different problem to a full civil war.

The Brits had much bigger problems than slave revolts, most
obviously with the Indian Mutiny and getting kicked out of
Afghanistan very unceremoniously indeed. And the Sikh wars.
