Check Out cla.umn.edu/ihrc/news-events/other/coolie-trade-19th-century: "The "coolie trade" refers to the importation of Asian contract laborers (especially Chinese and Indians) under force or deception during the 19th century. It emerged during the "gradual abolition" of slavery in the early 19th century, and coolies were exploited as substitutes for slave labor. The British were the first to experiment with this infamous form of labor migration when they imported 200 Chinese to Trinidad in 1806, when the British ended the slave trade. By 1838, some 25,000 East Indians had been exported to the new British East African colony of Mauritius. While Indian coolies were mainly transported inside British colonies, 250,000 to 500,000 Chinese coolies were imported from 1847-1874 to various British, French, Dutch and Spanish colonies in the Americas, Africa and Southeast Asia. During this twenty-seven year period, about 125,000 Chinese coolies were sent to Cuba. They were predominantly men from southern China exported via Macao (then a Portuguese colony). Eighty percent or more were sent directly to sugar plantations." After Britain supposedly banned the slave trade and abolished slavery, well into the 19th century, Britain was carrying on a de facto slave trade.
@exarmydoc7 жыл бұрын
"Amongst the first to free America's slaves, Rule Britannia!" If you are referring to the Corps of Colonial Marines which fought in the Chesapeake, consider this: Admiral Cockburn wanted the slaves he recruited to join the British West Indian Colored Regiments. The freed slaves refused because those regiments were slave regiments. The Beitish recruited the West Indian Colored Regiments to be used in putting down slave revolts in the West Indies. The British Empire did not abolish slavery until 1833. And, as I have said in my previous comment about the coolie trade, Britain was actually rngaged in a de facto slave trade well into the last half of the 19th century.
@muddlen79287 жыл бұрын

@exarmydoc7 жыл бұрын
"Amongst the first to free America's slaves, Rule Britannia!". Britain was not exactly on the moral high ground here. Britain did encourage US slaves to fight for the British. In the Chesapeake, escaped slaves formed the Corps of Colonial Marines. RADM George Cockburn wanted those slaves to join the British West Indian Colored Regiments. The slaves refused because the West Indian Colored Regiments were slave units, recruited for the purpose of putting down slave revolts in the West Indies. Slavery continued until 1835 in the British Empire. But then there was the Coolie trade. See cla.umn.edu/ihrc/news-events/other/coolie-trade-19th-century. The Coolie trade was the practice of transporting unskilled laborers from Asia, mainly from India and China, to various places in the World to perform heavy labor under slavery type conditions. Britain was involved in the Coolie trade for years after Britain outlawed the slave trade. To be fair and objective about this, US sea captains were also heavily involved in the Coolie trade. However, the second Opium War Britain fought with China happened not only because Britain wanted to supply China with Opium but also to expand the Coolie trade. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars: The Second Opium War ran from 1856-1860. "During 1856-1860, British forces fought towards legalization of the opium trade, to expand coolie trade,"

To be clear, this was payback after the Americans had spent the previous years trying to invade & colonise Canada (including burning a number of key buildings in York). It was never meant to be an occupation, hence why they left within 24 hours. The whole thing was similar to the retaliatory burning of Persepolis by Alexander, as retaliation for the Persian burning of the Athenian Acropolis.

I’m a Brit,and one of the reasons why they became successful in the theatre of battle was born out constant evolution from centuries of war,on land and sea,and the ability to learn from experience. But at the end of all this was a brutality and ruthlessness,that shaped the character of the nation. I’m glad America found its freedom,and resisted taxation without representation. Throughout this time the British had more serious problems,one of which,of course being Napoleon and French imperialism

I live close to the Harry S Truman Presidential Library. It has on display old wooden support beams from the East Room floor that are burned and scorched during the 1814 fire. (Apparently, when they rebuilt the White House they tried to salvage as much material as possible.) Under Truman, of course, the White House was completely gutted and remodeled. New steel beams were installed in the 1940's to keep the White House standing for another 200 years. Some of the workmen gave President Truman a few of the burnt beams as a gift to his museum. They're fascinating.

The house is truly beautiful. But I know what he meant when he said it isn’t that large. I’ve visited the White House 8 times. Each visit was as thrilling as the first, but I recall standing in the middle of the cross hall, facing the north doors. As I looked from side to side, I could see the exterior wall of the state dining room, and turning my head to the right, see the exterior wall of the east room. It truly is the people’s house, but a mansion as well. I wish I could see it decorated for the holidays. One thing I’ve always hoped to do, I don’t know if they even still have those tours, but I hear they are magical.
