European states may have ended slavery in their own countries before the U.S. did, but they had no objections to reaping the benefits of goods produced by slave labor.

Didn’t they also make money by selling the slaves? Shouldn’t refunds be in order?

Europeans too often get a 'pass' on the whole issue of slavery.
