??????? 1707 SCOTLAND AND THE NEGRO SLAVE TRADE ??#LESTWEFORGET ?

Most overseers and plantocracy in Jamaica and the American south were of Scottish ancestry. Memebers of the The Scottish Presbyterian church founded the terrorist organisation The KKK circa 1865 in retaliation for the emancipation of the Negro for chiefly, political/industrial reasons. An example of modern day inherited wealth is Donald Trump and Mitch Mc Connell both of Scottish ancestry whose families accumulated huge wealth during the colonial/post-colonial era. Furthermore, the overall capital wealth of Scottish Banks i.e Halifax and Barclays was notably from the byproduct of slavery and the exploitation of the negro population on plantations.

Interestingly, we are learning that the so-called negro is indeed the black Jew from the bible who were expelled from Portugal in 1492 and Portuguese colonies of the West Coast of Africa who were then shipped to Brazil, West Indies and America.

Scotland unlike (Catholic) Spain and Portugal was a late comer to the slave trade yet, by 1796, Scots owned nearly 30 per cent of the estates in Jamaica and by 1817, a staggering 32 per cent of the slaves. There were only about 70 or 80 slaves in Scotland but the country reaped the fruits of their labour in the colonies in the sugar, cotton and tobacco plantations.

#Didyouknow Caribbean surnames i.e Tulloch, Mcbean, McDonald, Campbell, Innerarity to name a few chase their origins back to Scotland?

Robert Allason, who built Greenbank House, near Glasgow (now cared for by the NTS) took
part in the Transatlantic Trade. He traded in tobacco and slaves. He sent goods from Port
Glasgow to his brother Sandy, who was based in Calabar (now in Nigeria), who then took
slaves on board his ship and sailed to the West Indies and America – where William Allason ran
a tobacco plantation (in Virginia) that was worked by enslaved people. Robert was sent the
tobacco which he sold in Britain and Europe. Port Glasgow and Greenock were the principal
tobacco ports in Britain.


The abolition of the Slave Trade Act
Even though slavery had been judged illegal in Scotland (and also in England), the slave trade
system was allowed to continue in the British Empire.
It wasn’t until 1807, after a long campaign, that the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act was passed
in Britain. Abolitionists came from all walks of life – both rich and poor. Among the first were the
Quakers, and many Abolitionists came from evangelical groups. Leading campaigners included
William Wilberforce, Thomas Clarkson, Zachary Macaulay and Olaudah Equiano. Africans
played a major role – enslaved people through resistance on the plantations, and freed Africans
by contributing to the campaign in Britain.
The end of slavery
The Act stopped the transatlantic slave trade in the British Empire, and meant that plantation
owners could no longer buy new slaves – but slavery was still legal.
The supporters of Abolition continued their campaign. It was during this time that women played
a more visible role – though they were not allowed to vote, they organised lobbying groups in
support of Abolition. The plantation owners, and others making profits from slavery, fought hard
to uphold the system. However, in 1833, slavery was declared illegal in the British Empire.
