Warner doesn’t discuss the enslavement of poor Irish (ancestors of many Americans!) to replace the black and creole slaves in the Caribbean freed after the Slavery Abolition Act, (1833) in Britain. The Act was championed by abolitionist William Wilberforce. Wilberforce University in Ohio is named after him – the first college to be owned and operated by African Americans, founded in 1856. He alludes to indentured servitude of all races where the slave had to buy his/her way out of slavery, sometimes as payment for the fare for the Atlantic crossing (mostly poor whites) to the new world. When they could not pay it back, they became slaves for life—until the end of the Civil War. The British East India Company sold anybody into slavery of all races, especially after the formal abolition in 1833 Britain.

Her father is a Jamaican economist allied with George Soros and the U.N.
