New Record Exposes British Elite's Deep Ties to Slave Trade

A newly published historical record lists thousands of British elites—including royalty, nobles, bankers, and merchants—who profited from the transatlantic slave trade, which enslaved over 3 million Africans over nearly 250 years. The document quantifies the scale of profits and involvement, though its methodology and completeness remain unverified. This revelation could reignite debates on reparations and historical accountability in the UK.
