Great Britain.
Yes there was. Slavery was quite common in Britain in the 17th century. In the 17th century there was a slave triangle. It started in Britain, where ships would take metal and guns to villages in Africa. Then they would trade the metal and guns for prisoners that the village had caught. The slaves would then be transported to the West Indies and America to work on plantations. For the slaves, the plantation owners would trade cotton and sugar. However, not all the slaves would have been traded. Some, would be taken along with the cotton and sugar to Britain, and sold there. Then the triangle begins again.
Some ways slaves in Britain resisted slavery included escaping, forming rebellions, and seeking legal protection through courts. They also utilized tactics such as sabatoge, feigning illness, and creating secret communities to support each other in resistance efforts.
Slaves were freed through various means such as legal emancipation, escape to free states, or the abolition of slavery in certain regions or countries. While they may no longer be legally considered slaves, they may still face social, economic, or cultural challenges that restrict their true freedom and equality.
The problems in Britain were 1. The British would still think of black people as slaves 2. There weren't many jobs there 3. also they had not much money
Britain only needed slaves to work plantations in the British colonies. They were not used in Britain itself. Britain abolished slavery well before American did.
the slaves in great Britain had to work hard on the slave ships and do what people say really
There are still slaves today.
Since the US became independent of Britain as a result of the Revolutionary War, Britain did not come to set slaves free in America. It was not until after the Civil War that the slaves were freed by constitutional amendment.
