Many things are wrong with this assumption and unfortunately, that is what many believe. When the British started their conquest of claiming land belonging to African natives while also forcing them to work without pay and subjecting them to free labour, they claimed to have abolished slavery.

On the first season finale of Long Story Short, Liwa tells the story of a liberator who stood against the British invaders that tried to erode their cultures and traditions.
