Canada, Australia, New Zealand and her possessions in the East Indies furnished an ample field for British settlement and colonial trade, "which dwarfed into very diminutive proportions the British in- terests in the West Indies. Great Britain could therefore afford to be philanthropic and at the cost of . £20, 000, 000 (about $96, 000, 000) she gave liberty to a very few more than 600, 000 slaves, \vho were placed in a condition of ap- prenticeship for several years to enable the planters to a...c- commodate themselves to the new order of things by de- grees. She had abandoned the slave trade after, bj'^ the loss of the American colonies, she had ceased to have a large interest in the su))ject of slavery, and this grant of £20, 000, 000 for the freedom of all of the negro slaves left in her dominions, was the final atonement she made for the millions she had coiLsigned to slavery, and the millions who had been cast overboard, to meet a watery grave, on their route to slavery. To make her own gracious act more conspicuous, she turned proi)agandist and commenced denouncing the system of slavery which she had been so instrumental in fixing upon the world, as un-Christian, inhuman and bar- barous.
