[Margaret Pilkington]

I might, so long as I was not required to move from Lancashire.

However much we lament, we cannot change the past.
Those black slaves were young African people who had been captured by other tribes (people who were their own colour) and sold to slave traders.
I do not see the African nations lamenting their actions or beating themselves up about their part in this.
Many of those who are activists either do not know this or do not accept the part of the tribes in the trading of slaves.
In fact it was a British MP (William Wilberforce) who campaigned for the banning of this trade.
This led to the 1807 act of Parliament that made the trade in slaves illegal.
