    Yeah and it didn’t have an affect on slavery as a market force at all.

    The Caribbean slave colonies were still the biggest profit producing colonies that the European powers had because of their cane sugar production.

    Little people like us sure can help, but what we really need is government policy to force change. There are always going to be too many people driven by cost rather than the ethics of an issue.
