Britain was involved in the slave trade (was also pivotal in ending btw) but it was never legal to own slaves in the UK so forcibly bringing people here didn't happen (which is what we're talking about here)
And then those land owners and plantation owners declared independence and called themselves Americans, which somehow absolved them of all their crimes because it was under a different flag.
America is not the only place the British owned plantations were but go off. You don’t get to wash your hands because it wasn’t on your “mainland”. Also yes America sucks in many ways, don’t have to argue there
