the slave trade was britains fault as they had slave ships going round to get people from Africa and transport them to the Americas to work on Plantation where there were not treated very nicely. Britain also got sugar from there and used it in tea and cakes (this was a very popular item for british people even though some didnt realise that by buying sugar they were supporting the slave trade. Britain also had many slaves in their colonies and they had quite a few slaves working in britain for their masters like a famous person called Olaudah Equiano who bought his freedom and then campaigned against slavery.
