Re: Nature with Billbklyns wrong history

Wrong... lets start with the Portugese NOT the west africans that really started the slave trade. So lets get that falsehood out of the way. The british actually sold african slaves to the portugese and the french at first.

Then the british and french using slaves to farm the cash crop of sugar cane to fuel the chests that allowed all 3 to grow, especially the British. Which lead to all 3 fighting but to become the superpowers they were at the time? They built it on slave labor, pure and simple, it drove their economic engines. It allowed them to create empires that spanned the globe. The money from slave labor allowed them to build ships, purchase weapons and build the war machines you described.

Europe had slavery for a long time since the romans, and beforr then too, and in some parts of europe slavery still exists and is a problem. So lets not again whitewash history. You omit the very thing which allowed europe to grow powerful. Which is pathetic on your part.

Misguided history with billbklyn
