04. Plantation Nation

Ch 4 of How to Dismantle an Empire debunks the triangular slave trade as neither triangular nor trade. It looks at how small merchants were all invested in slave ships and small farmers were unable to compete with large plantations. Quotes from Eric Williams in 'Capitalism & Slavery' and Adam Hochschild's Bury the Chains, telling how 12 men ended the slave trade. Ending the system where the financiers own all of us is yet to be done.
