Europe was built on the slave trade. The 450 Years of free labour financed the industrial revolution. Cities were built with the sweat, blood and tears of Africans. Europe has a shameful past like

European nations Britain, France, Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark/Norway and Sweden have committed the vilest and most persistent criminal acts on Africans. Hundreds of millions Africans have been slaughtered and abused to appease European appetite for sugar, coffee, tea and tobacco.

These countries littered the West African coast with castles to hold captured Africans. In Ghana alone there are around 30 castles. For every slave transported to a plantation, two or three more Africans died, evading capture, in the slave castles, or during the middle passage.

Africans were herded and shackled for their voyage to the New World. They ate, defecated and slept in the same place for the three month voyage. Conditions were inhumane and there were plenty of causalities. Once on the plantation slaves were often worked to death within three years of arrival.

European attempt to wash away their blood soaked history by:

Giving conditional nominal handouts in form of Aid to African nations
Creating an illusion that Africans were uncivilised
Saying Africans enslave each other
Overpraising their achievements in Abolition
Not focusing on the true horrors of slavery
Not focusing on the enormous wealth they generated from slavery

European nations have a duty to apologise and repair the damage they have done and set an example for modern slave trading nations to follow. Reparation estimates of seven trillion pounds have been calculated, this may bankrupt Europeans for the next 400 years or so, but at least the collective conscience will be cleaned.

The successful European global domination has come at the price of sacrificing hundreds of millions of innocent people. Was it a price worth paying? Is it worth an apology?
