Very tragically, for the West, the then Radical Whigs in Britain, in the early 19th Century, pressed the abolition card, (long before the pathetic and disastrous American Civil War,) with which even some Tories in the late 18th Century had also sympathized and championed, but at a time in the early 19th Century, when it, abolitionism, then became powerfully identified with the predominant themes of the catastrophic French Revolution, and with what I and others call The Age of the Democratic Revolution, a very unfortunate mega movement, especially in the long run for the middle and lower classes in the West itself, which is still unfolding, as what is now called globalization, to this day.
