in britain years before it was abolished in america). we have had calls for britain to apologise for the slavery, we have even had people in the street chaining themselves up wearing sorry placards . Britains stance on this is that even though slavery was a terrible evil and a dark period in britains history, we cannot apologise for this because there is not one person alive in britain today, who has any direct association with the slave trade. if that were the case, then the germans, french (normans), danes(vikings) and italians (romans), would have to apologise to us for invading the uk many years ago. What is the american view of this given that the US and UK were basically partners in this appaling trade
