The British Crusade Against Slavery

   

Sargon of Akkad

 

Published on Apr 22, 2015

The reason that slavery isn't acceptable anywhere in the modern world is because of the British people's 60-year crusade against it.

"The spirit of liberty is so deeply ingrained in our constitution that a slave, the moment he lands in England, is free."
Sir William Blackstone

"As soon as a person set foot on English soil, he or she becomes free."
Lord Henley

"As soon as a negro comes to England he is free."
Judge Holt
