...,even the Romans - there has always been slavery.

Indeed, they kept the Brits as slaves and even gave Latin tests to small children, if they failed they were killed.
Down with the Colosseum!

I hope she makes a record of it, cause at the rate we are going there is going to be nothing left for future generations to research. The woke will have had it all destroyed.

I would bet most peoples ancestors somewhere along the line were slave owners at some point in history. Not just british empire period , but even further back.

Scottish irish english welsh , all european countries and all the african countries etc , white have white slaves , black having black  , and a mixture of both either way.

I guess if we all traced our families back we wouldn't be too happy with some of the carryon's of yesteryear . Slavery was part and parcel of life for hundreds if not thousands of years .
If you keep digging you will bump into it sooner or later ,or did the girl think her decedents  were  whiter than white

I agree streetwalker , and in my particular family , you dont have to delve back into history to see" carryons.".

I guess the moral of the story is if we all just accepted slavery was once a universal if disgusting system practices by all and sundry , and no one is blameless , then maybe alec scott wouldnt be in tears accepting the misdemeanours of her ancestors.

She is though  , because she has been brought up to believe by the modern woke society that it was only the nasty white man who kept black slaves. Its easier to accept fantasy to suit an ideology than historical fact.

or did the girl think her decedents  were  whiter than white

Are you taking the piss ?

My youngest grand daughter (who adores animals and wants to be one) was in tears when she discovered that her great great garandfather had been sent down at Dorking Magistrate Court for offences against donkeys. We tried to explain that was the way they described stealing animals in the 19th century and that he hadn't actually hurt them, but it took a lot of time before she got over it.

Thank feck you arent welsh borkie , i might have been a bit worried if you had said that and mentioned sheep.

I just cant believe these holier than thou black folk actually kept slaves. I thought it was whitey who was the historical bad guy?

The plot thickens.!!!!

ainsely harriets great grandfather as well.. Tut tut .

Slave Owners in Jamaica

Finally, Ainsley returned to Jamaica to trace further back along Ebenezer Harriott's line.

We found James Harriott on the 1825 register, owning eight slaves. So we could confirm that Ebenezer's father, Ainsley's great-grandfather, had been a white slave owner. Much Jamaican genealogy reveals mixed heritage, but this was an unexpectedly close relationship.
