- Unfinished Business looks at how Liverpool became the greatest slaving port in human history.
This is the untold story of the greatest slaving nation in history. Up till now, Britain’s place in the history of slavery has been as the country that abolished the international slave trade.
Britain’s Slave Trade reveals the shameful truth behind this liberal facade, showing how the economic, social and cultural life of Britain would have been unrecognisable without slavery. Britain’s Slave Trade explains how a middling European power transformed itself into the ruler of the waves, tracing the impact this had on the British way of life and taking in the Industrial Revolution, the beginnings of Empire and the birth of modern racism along the way. It also unearths startling evidence showing how many families that think of themselves as ‘pure’ English stock are in fact descended from slave ancestors.

A tip: you can watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Thiago Reginald yea, have been using flixzone} for since november myself :D
Can you tell me who is the narrator of this video?
Wow! Slave mentality runs deeeeeep! How can anyone teach you about respect when they dont even think of you as a person?! 😠
That's How the chosen people think Matthew 5:44
Wow
Wow totally idiots, all they needs now is a slave bible to call it a day.

@@ms.titianabab7133 see they used the Bible to rule us and still today its effects show
As a Jamaican watching this and seeing those people talking about the Beckford and their white ancestors. make me realise as a people how damage we are. as a people we need rehabilitation
As a 🇯🇲 I agree with you.
I agree as well. The first thing that came to mind was Stockholm Syndrome.
Mark Francis it's because they have not changed what they have done they are not sorry and it continues our people continue to be harmed I am also an Islander but from a different Island you guys are also my people and the Mexicans are my people in the Native Americans are my people too and the whites we are our ancestors and this was never fixed but let me tell you something their time is up and you're going to see the wicked get their reward their recompense
That guy at the end had his whiteness blacked out of him.
Mark Francis yes. Lord have mercy!
@3:03 he says "He was an amazing individual, without him this estate wouldn't exist." I don't know what my reaction would have been. But I know profanity would be involved
That opening statement alarmed me, there is nothing amazing about a "person" who enslaves another human being.
Lol agree
I doubt my face could contain what my mouth had self control not to .SMH
So typical of the horsey set. He really has no F****** clue
Truly, I feel the same.
EXACTLY!! Thank you!!
Wow! how many creepy snake and monsterous statues in that castle. These slave masters were pure evil.
"THE SERPENT SEED NEEDS TO BE WIPED OUT, THEY HIDE AND LOVE TO HIDE LIKE SNAKES!"
Yes, it's very creepy. I couldn't live there if my ancestors built it with money from free slave labor; I simply could not, and I could not possibly exist if I didn't give something back. It's inhumane to say his ancestor was "an amazing individual;" his ancestor was a greedy white Brit who'd do anything for a dollar. That is the bottom line.
I don't understand how he can state that he can't do anything about it. Why doesn't he give some of his wealth back to all the Pennants that exist today.
Its money, so obviously his ancestors have passed on the greedy gene!!
All that wealth..he could have given her something
bluestaffylicious
You would want his money?
@Peggy Wiley She still has her Blood line to the origin of the Human being.
bluestaffylicious he’s not THAT sorry 😐... mention the word “reparations “ & see them lose all civility!
The guy describing his slave-trading ancestor as "an amazing individual, without him this estate wouldn't exist" to the descendent of a slave(s) who generated the money for them! I think that's an insult, if I were in that lady's shoes I would have exploded!
It would not have been pretty if it had been me.
How can any slave masters have a prestige just because he had left a property that had made a slave child having his name...killed a thousands of people.Oh,poverty what weak you are...?
I can't wrap my head around it!
And when was the picture taken...😄
I love how the descendents in this film are proud of their family history due to the wealth their family helped contribute to the city and just seem to glaze over the fact that their family's wealth was truly due to their participation in the slave trade. But the narrator and historians always make sure to bring that point to the front
they arent their ancestors,you cant blame them
Awareness matters. And I don't mean being aware of white connections that do not add a smidgen of value to the package. Knowledge beyond that ignorance helps.
Exactly
The African slave trade is alive and well in the middle east. What are you doing about it.
A Aa oh I bet that gets you off the hook then. Well ok. Good for you.
if he had a drop of humanity in him he would set up a trust for her family that built his continued lifestyle
That is because he is scared that he would open the floodgates when you consider that it was the largest plantation on the island...
He could start with Diane Pennant, herself. Can he help with anything? Her or her children’s education? Housing? Business opportunities? How about starting a foundation for all Pennant descendants? Would it not be possible to trace by DNA Diane’s black ancestors and reconnect with her birth people?

He doesn't owe her a damn thing. She can build her own wealth. What happened years ago, isn't the fault of anyone now.
He took the money from Jamaica and brought it ALL the way back to England. sic.
What did you expect
hope odyssey Today the decedents Of the Nazi’s are just as rich. From wealth they stole from the Jewish people during the Holocaust. Vice did a documentary about it.
@@autumnhomer9786 And it is interesting how Vice also did not mention how Jews also became wealthy through the slave trade and being part of highly corrupt elite organizations.
@Daiz Camacho everything from castles to big estates is built on thr back of other people all through history from white peasants on the farms in England to black slaves hundreds of yeard after
That's what used to happen under British Empire mate. Even india has suffered this. There were many more countries too. Us Brits have a cruel past 😣😔
"LEGENDS TELL SHE LEFT JUST AS BROKE AS SHE CAME NOW EVEN BROKER, KNOWING THE TRUTH OF HER FAMILY"
Slave Descendants should be able to sue the estates of their families prior slave owner. It is known that slaves made them rich. This dude told that girl that her ancestors might be pictured in that painting of his ancestors property. Too much. Talking about feeding the cattle and slaves. That discussion was a little too polite. No expression of disgust. At all. Mmm, mm. Not me.
@stop immigration stop spreading hate mate.
@stop immigration what about the oppressors living in caves/didnt know how to take bath and thought lices in their hair was pearls /so they wouldnt wash their hair. Do the research on this/ Shalom
living in caves with their dogs. Do the research..The moors had to teach them everything.Do the research. Shalom
@yourmanwatson I come from slaves. I don't want to take money from innocent people. The son does not carry a fathers sin.
British came and stole all these lands. The peasants from Britain was dropped to give you religion, colonize lands and enslaved, raped, robbed, and killed the people that was already on these lands. They have reversed the stories to make it look now as if they are the original people of these lands they stole. It’s important because we as originals of this land are not suppose to be in the US constitution which was never design to benefit or help our people. Founding fathers are actually the founding thieves, murderers, colonizers, etc. peace
@@thomasgarveysankara2157 STFU WE WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT WAS DONE TO OUR ANCESTORS!!!!
This video only scratches the surface of the Slave trade .
Then only a view people where slaves now we are all slaves. We live right now in the biggest slave world ever.. just saying
Stop exaggerating
why did he hold her hand for 7 years? Felt so awkward
He was thanks her look how he lived he should be on knees out of gratitude getting busy on his phone transferring with interest the full pay for all her past ancestors to her account pronto
Sophia Evans expressing fake sympathy.....
Yeah. I saw that and it felt creepy
Sophia Evans
Why would you feel awkward? In some cultures that is not an issue, but only in abused cultures.
Haha 12 years,a slave!
What a horrible life. They were slaves powerless imprisoned without rights and dispensable at the whim of their masters.
Absolutely horrible 😭
hearing them talking about their familys as if being slave owners was something to be proud of sickens me!
They were humans too. Imagine their mindset, society, etc. Maybe some would have been forced to do such crimes. My ancestors were shipped to South Africa and to Southern India. They had to leave their home and travel to a place far away from UK to expand the cruel empire. This could have led to their death too!
He needs to pay them reparations!
@@silverwave5788 AMEN.
Yes they were humans, evil ones!
This woman is unbelievably calm and collected. It's despicable what was done by the elite of this country. It continues to be done against the working class but in a different guise. 😢
And they always will until the workers rise up
Everything the English did to the Africans they first did to their own people and the Irish. Everyone needs to remember that. They perfected it with the Africans though.
Man, it has to be REALLY painful sitting down with someone you KNOW is now a multi millionaire because they abused your family to work to death for you to be where you are. For her to be walking through all this wealth, seeing her family members names in a list of slaves, knowing they had no civil or human rights. Wow! That’s………. Wow! 😢 Kind of interesting to see him talking about bridge building. I wonder how he’d feel if she wanted reparations for her family to be the tool that starts building this bridge.
I can’t even imagine 😢

"He wasn't black, but he was part-colored." LMMFAOOO...WTF!!!
Carlos' Way that lady is in serious denial
+Lauren Kahre: IKR! As if "colored" is this quasi-undefinable creature that's somehow MORE PALATABLE than just sayin' half BLACK! LMAOOO!!!
I come from New England and the older folk all call black people there colored. I think it's just a generational thing.
I know right, i was thinking the same thing. This woman is in denial, you can see she is happy that he is not fully black.
ZanesFacebook that's not what was said read quotations.. wasn't black they were part colored.. lol makes for a confusing statement
The Pennent castle owner says there's nothing he can do now. Sure there is! Build a modest house on part of the property and with the rest of the land including the sale of the castle, invest in infrastructure in the city the slaves that worked on your land came from. Seems fair to me.
Sky's the Limit! Forever Young facts. That’s why those Red Devils should pAy for what they have done.
@Sky’s the limit. Not build nah give up some of that money 💰 💴 💵
I say, where's Julius Malema; redistribution of land and wealth, that's what really should be done.
Not only fair, but mandatory if you truly want to do the right thing. He obviously doesn't give a damn. Sad human being; who's really 2/3 a person, the slaves that made Pennants rich or the surviving Pennant who says that?
No vengeance is mine sayeth the Most High. satan has 6,000 years to rule.
He said his family was slave owners and there’s nothing he can do about it ..yes the heck it is relinquish that wealth his ancestors acquired to the descendants of the slaves. The descendants are a direct heir to what ever wealth was accumulated by the free servitude of the slaves ! NEED TO PAY UP THEM REPARATIONS !
Black Power
Collect reparations from Slave Traders, eg Aaron Lopez, etc ?
Follow the money......
Bit silly, that is about 8 generations back. There are likely millions of descendants just from one set of slaves. The descendants wouldn't even end up with 5 pence. Most of the descendants these days are just as poor as the rest of us but hold title to land that is most often in trust of the English Heritage society so the building does not fall down. And you can't punish someone for something they themselves had no hand in.
Emma Kay tell that to the Jews, Japanese, $5.00 Indians all who receive reparations...you have no understanding on generational wealth.
"CUT THE CHECK!"
If you don't have 100 million put away, you are a modern slave. We are all slaves on a giant plantation today. At least plantation owners looked at their slaves as investments that had to be taken care of to some degree. Modern employers do not provide me with land and tools to grow food. They do not provide me housing of any quality. They do not care if I have a rotten tooth and may die without medical care today. Slaves of the past had it bad but, we have not progressed very far. We are all now expendable and easy to replace as employees. Very soon all human labor will be obsolete. What do you think today's plantation owners are going to do with us all then? Allow us to live on their planet without working for their gain. Nope, it will then be time to liquidate all the unnecessary poor people (less than 100 million USD)!
@ 37:43 Old man: "She has not negroid features."
Janet: " Oh,no"

Hahahaha Janet seems to be very worry about that part, she claiming "Master Gang" every occasion she have.
I caught that too but she looks like she has black in her
😂😂
@@Xwaterwicca I noticed that too.. :-/
I laughed at that part too! She CLEARLY doesn't really want the association.
Our story will never be complete, stripping us of our history. You got that right. Damn!
If he really wanted "reconciliation" he would give the sister a portion of the estate! However, as we know words will be shared in vanity with no privileges to be given up or given back 😑.
how do you know he didn't?
I have always been against a conversation of reparations in the USA, but in such clear cases majority of their wealth should be taken away
The awkward hand shake at the start .... I wonder how long it actually lasted.
Her humility and forgiveness with dealing with this man and the way he presents this whole situation is truly amazing.
Yes , you can hear the conceit in his voice, no humility , or remorse! But reaping his family's wealth from her ancestors work!
I would not condemn the descendants if they are decent people, but Britain does owe the Caribbean , Asia, and Africa billions!
@@cocoaorange1 : I agree with you on that! But he didn't try and conceal his Generational Wealth at all! And he wasn't apologetic at all about the history and didn't seem to want to know the African side of his family either! Just a tour of the castle!
@@cocoaorange1 : All those European countries who participated in the Atlantic Slave Trade and also those European countries that colonized countries in Africa owe Billions in reparations!
@italove27 : I'm aware that the documentary wasn't based on apologies! I was just stating my viewpoint, respectfully!
Documentary evidence should be mechanized in law and equity to facilitate reparations. People of the soil are fed-up with the rationalization of the worst crime against humanity in 2000 yrs.
So sad that his Dad and Aunts are just lost 😳
Quite Embarrassing
Absolutely lost
White supremacy was built on the back of black inferiority complex..
It must be a sobering experience to walk the cane fields on which slaves owned by your ancestors were worked to death.
It was a sad time for millions.
Its mind blowing, horrific experience to even think about doing it.
Shameful.
Ugh they couldn't possibly because they were up in the big house w their tea n biscuits lol
Absolutely horrible. I cannot even imagine that! Just imagine how it would feel to meet a slave descendant whose ancestors once built your family's wealth.
Life is full of sorrow 😔😣.
Coloured, not coloured half coloured. She has no pride about it whatsoever in the ethnic background.
hybrid angel why should she
U can tell a mile away she wants no part of it and admits she can't feel for them ugh the color of ignorance .
Everyone hates their past. Imagine your ancestors kept and tortured someone's ancestors. It's horrible to imagine but it's the truth. What else can we do but deal with it???
@@niranjandesai6766 No she can't accept that she had slaves as relatives it's ok to be related to a slave owner but not a slave for white people or people who think they are 100% white
The upper echelon British elitists had slaves galore..and they loved it!
They won't hire a poc if they have to pay them then..
Ofcourse we don't 'love' it
why did he hold her hand so long ..is he going to give her reparations for the damage they did to her family
Lorieanne Hollaway yeah that was akward
No! They continue to say it was long ago and your not affected.
@@Charmagne1977 we are affected and we are going to show we are when we strike the vote and they will not get in until they give us what it coming to us. Its the democrats that bully black people into voting for them claiming that they are our friends ..they are the same people from Uncle Toms Cabin that claim that they are nice to their slaves ..and so many slaves believed that they were ..but the democrats are not our friends we have no friends ..whoever pays our vote can get our vote but we will not continue to give it away for free
@@lorieannalove You know Blacks are stronger then what people give us credit for. We are seen as the movers of the World and to really show how powerful we are all we have to do is stop watching all the TV shows movies, no events, no bus rides, no shopping at white stores, go on the biggest Strike America has ever seen and also give them the biggest lawsuit they wouldn't want...now if that happened that would cause fear and lost of money for them. The government don't like losing money and they definitely wouldn't want to see vote nor see that lawsuit....
@@Charmagne1977 we can pull money but we should sit out the vote because the democrats are ignoring reparations ..to the point ..they might as well say f u Niccas ..there I feel we should say it at the polls and they want that presidency so bad watch them come back next election with a deal ..they have to see they can not win without granting reparations ..this will be a wait but if we wait it out we will get what we want

Peggy Wiley amen
Its the Africans that sold us. Arabs were doing what the europeans have made a name for themselves doing. Arabs did it right up to the 21st centuary. African ancestors sold us to Europeans for allsorts.
peggy, the truth is... no reparations for you. ah, sweet freedom !
Paul Robinson
It's all about the Benjamins with you people isn't it
hybrid , dat is a lie.which African ancestors sold us ? Can u point out one? And for what reasons will our ancestors sold thier own people to a stranger.please lets us read to get some more facts.
How does one even begin to justify calling someone who uses free enslaved labour seized by force for personal profit "an amazing individual"?
Interesting for certain
They had a different perspective. Totally un-Christian. WE are a different kind of slave. We are all slaves to the same thing, Money. Many think if it's not against the law, it's OK; While some don't need no stinking badges. ruclips.net/video/-0kcet4aPpQ/видео.html
“Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.”-T. S. Eliot
did they mention anything about money?
Similar to the companies who still do not care who make all the goods imported today as long as its profitable.
OR companies who use Prisoners to make their items for literally pennies on the dollar.
Still shocking folks. She holds back the 😞 ness in her eyes when he tells her that her people could be represented in the painting..

The Heywood descendant, atrocious, not a hint of regret, it is the dawn of a new day. The Pennant descendants should provide compensation to her. It makes me ill and sad for Ms Pennant.
Absolutely!
The arrogance of some of the descendants of the slave traders is beyond words.
Sick to my core!!!
The control she must have. I couldn't do it
Neither could I
When the white dude said 'without him, this whole estate wouldn't exist' 😡 No mate the estate exists from the backs of slave labour. 🤦🏽♂️ This is why Britain needs to teach about British imperialism and the brutal empire that they are so nostalgic over.
Mau. I have never in my 60 years on earth, met another Brit that even thinks of the Empire. It was a long time ago, around the time Brits were slaving in coal mines,factories and in the fields. Slave markets exist today in Africa, think about that.
Are we talking about the same Beckford that built Monserrat Palace in Sintra, Portugal?
Yes.
Que novidade para min.
Quanto sangue Africano afogado por tantas terras.
Que agonia.

Bloody marvellous documentary thank you for satisfying my apetite for history
Wow she has so much composure. I would have had to inform him that it was in fact without her ancestors that that estate wouldnt exist not his racist grampa!
He needs to give her his castle, about amazing man
The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous. Soon!
Special thanks to Timeline for this timely documentary and discussion. Robert's emotions were similar to my own when learning about my enslaved ancestors and their slavers fortunes.
i "truthly believe if u don't recognize the past an this goes for all races of ppl "its doom to happen again" slave is an was just "human-greed" over a ppl an it still goes on til this day "human-trafficking"is big business!
Such good documentaries about the corruption of slave trade. Robert Beckford saw it so clear. His step by step searching brought him more sadness, than he would ever recogncice. England should be taken responsible for their worse crime and payi back their huge depth.
An "amazing individual" who took "human flesh and blood" labor and built a "stone" structure.
Why so many ads! Can't even follow the documentary!
I will consider that a deterrent
Not one for me.. thats strange. I usually get at least 3 or 4 with this length of video.
@thaNorthStar.com no need to be rude!
Imagine coming up against a mentality totally opposite to anything you have ever considered, doing things you would never imagine & them sticking to their guns without you able to warn them of the consequences of their actions, that they must have been themselves demoralised & suppressed to have become so amoral & oppressive
For me black Afro English born citizen this is amazing,I to met a English man and we started to talk and he said that his ancestors were slavers too and we laughed i said to him my great grandparents could have been his slaves , he said yep that could have been true, he did say his ancestors had plantations in the Caribbean islands but could remember. It was really interesting to hear that information.
When was that picture taken ?
Thought the same 😆
Yeah thay are rich off the backs of our ancestors and made no account of our labor's! Now thay say we got here all on our on the people have to pay for there crimes! Revelation 13:9-10
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

i needed this!!!
ESAU"!!! you dont mind telling Black Horrible stories. 😣
@SniperSd Sid who runs the world? Isn’t Esau the end of the world!!
I think holding on to a slavers name can be used in restitution. So much transpired by that name in one direction should now be used towards another direction , at least before it should be discarded. Maybe Robert could hyphenate the name of his slaver ancestor in order to endeavor to bring restitution to those who were afflicted
thnks for making this educative video.
If you're going to ask for reparations, you have to calculate exactly how many descendants from that plantation exist and what percentage of their genes comes from the ancestor/s who worked there, then you have to find out exactly how many people were real responsible for that person being there, including the slave owners in Africa who sold them to the Muslim merchants, the people who worked at the docks in Africa, the people who approved the legislations, the owners of the ships etc... And calculate exactly what percentage of the responsibility lies with each one of each of these persons descendants, and then also calculate what percentage of each of the descendants wealth is due directly to the slave trade. Then you have to get that exact amount (depending on all of these factors) from them.... And you have to find each and every single descendant of every single person who worked on that plantation, and calculate what percentage of their genes comes from the ancestor who worked in that plantation... Then you have to add up all that money and divide it accordingly... Hmm... Anything that doesn't take all of that into account isn't fair. A pound of flesh!
Anyways, must people I know just decide to hate whites and thirst for their blood lol, regardless of who the ancestros were and wether they ever owned a single penny, let alone a slave.
A lot of the dame people love Africa and everything African... Ignoring that long before the Americas there was slave trade there... All over. Many people even identity with Egyptian things. Lol. The pyramids were built by slaves! And all of these people have absolutely no concern for modern day slaves, which are higher in number than back then. People even buy stuff made by slaves in Asia... Clothes, phones, stuff...
WHY?? Why do the descendants of slaves have to jump through all the hoops? So whites never have to pay a dime? The people who worked the docks where white people. If these Africans didnt sell slaves to the White people what would have happened? Oh yea colonization in which the same thing happen right up to the 2000.
The Duke of Westminster is my slave relative. His anscestor owned my anscestors on their plantation in the West indies. I should visit him at Eaton Hall.
She needs help. She is so delusional about the whole matter. He absolutely turned the short documentary about him and his family. Sad
This man is a complete self awareness vortex.
Seeing Roberts in that old Slave House almost reminds me of sleeping in a renovated old slave Cabin in Virginia. I spent 2 nights in that Cabin that I rented. This was the time the Movie Amistad (about a Slave ship whose passengers overcame the captain and demanded to be returned) was released and I just watch it before I went to Cabins in Northern Virginia. I have never felt so lonely staying there for 2 nights.
You were alone right? Does the word alone mean anything to you?
To me, it means all by myself!
The descendants of slave owners and the descendants of slaves definitely see the pass through different glasses.
If I was him I would feel very awkward meeting her since it's her family that ultimately put him in the lap of luxury. In the name of her ancestor's and to honor them that help build the estate, I would do something significant for her.
That's what we have to deal with every single day! And still hear criticism of our dead ancestors.
We weren't born back then, we couldn't believe what our ancestors had done. But we are to blame. What a sad life 🥺😣
Diane has more class than ten of the man put together.
My family had white slaves as late as the 1920s here in Arabia. My mother’s side of the family still has recessive genres appearing here and there. Some of my first cousins, born in the 90s, have blonde hair, pale skin, and green or blue eyes. One of them has two boys now, and they’re both blonde like her, even though she married a dark haired Arab.
Where were these white slaves in the 1920s from?
Respectable people whose entire empire is on the back of slaves.
@Whisper-that truth-shss I replied. Yup, Chris is setting us straight, right? (sarcasm)

This upset me the first time I saw it. The small, petty side of me says " I am so glad she is tall, slender and cute. While Edmond can't even wear a suit..." Trying to find any justice in this tragedy.
Few hundred years too late, but glad that you let outsiders know how you got your wealth.
My first time I travelled was to Barbados my families country. I went to the Sunbury Plantation and the rooms looked like the one Robert visited. I was upset and vowed never to visit another plantation house again. Lining the pockets of already rich or wealthy ancestors of the slave masters.
This is ridiculous so disgusting proud of his ancestors theft!!! Typical Narcissism.
Shocking treatment of humans ever known in this world..
These ppl talking about the beckford they have a lot of respect ✊ for their SLAVE MASTER pssssshhh SMH 🤦♂️!!!!!!!!
Insane right
Brainwashed...smdh
If given a choice, i would rather have my African ancestral name restored, than to accept their bloody reparation.
I agree with you a million percent. Give me back my name and my stolen history and you can keep the blood money made off the blood of my ancestors .
But there is NO way they can do that. THE system was set up so give me the money to make up for what all you stole.
Those people were getting back their name! Those people speak like they are cooked....400+ is a serious groomer!
Im utilizing the documentary as a tool... No I'm not happy about what happened in the past, but what can help heal our mental stability knowing deep in our wounded hearts the abuse suffered upon our ancestors. I have British DNA yet my family doesn't know of any British. So I'm utilizing any documentary as my tool for research. Thanks for sharing.
This is a really tough watch x
