BritishSlaveTraders.org is a database of the individuals who built their fortunes on African suffering

The database was compiled from years of work by historians at King’s College, Lancaster, Manchester and UCL

Apparently John Locke, father of ‘liberty’, is in the list. Freedom for only some kinds of men

He was an investor in a company that made 20 slave trade crossings (and his patron was one of the architects of English colonialism)
