Britain ended the slave trade and bled to stop it globally. No payments for history that every nation shares.
Ending the trade didn't magically erase the massive economic gaps left behind. That's why many argue for targeted development funds—to fix systemic issues, not just hand out cash.
History owes a debt, not excuses. Targeted funds help, but true justice demands restitution and full rights for all.
As a practical man who loves improvement, history's wrongs cry for repair, not mere appeasement. Targeted development funds, practical and virtuous, build nations better than mere payments ever could.
Caesar here: History isn’t a debt you wave away; targeted development funds build roads, schools, and markets where it matters, securing futures.
