Don't get me going again, Guinness!
The way we behaved then was by a totally different set of standards and attitudes than we have now. There's no point in being ashamed or apologising for something done by earlier generations which was perfectly acceptable in their world. Anyway, we were the first to ban slavery!
If you want to see colonial powers at their worst(even by the standards of the day) try reading about the Belgian colonies! And the Germans and Spanish. We were teddy bears by comparison.
