Heavens, please tell me why you say I am justifying slavery, because I just don't see it.

>>On the other hand, Maurice is right that some good things were introduced into the colonies.<<

I can't speak about India, but I can speak about North America, and for North America, it's the truth. But white North Americans were never slaves of the British Empire, and black North Americans were not slaves of the Crown, but of individual property owners.

>>An interesting question, to me, is what would have happened if there had been no colonies. If the only interactions had been peaceful trade, where would India and Africa be now?<<

This remains an interesting question to me.
