UKSlaveTrade Day Three

Transatlantic Slave Trade Study Abroad Day Three 

London is such a rich city. They have treasures that have been collected and created since the Romans settled there 43AD. In more recent history London's main profits came from the slave trade. I had never really thought about it until this trip, but slavery really impacted London financially. Many of the big banks in London at one time or another funded slave ships or insured them, and many of London's richest families profited off of the slave trade. With out that money it's interesting to wonder what London would look like today. 

There is no hiding the tremendous changes that have occurred in London over the years.

I would love to see how the city would have developed without money from the slave trade.
