Some of the wealthiest women in 19th- and early-20th-century England built their fortunes on Caribbean slavery.

and entire families secured status, estates, and political power
because enslaved Africans had already paid the price.

In this episode of Trey’s Table, we unpack how slavery shaped wealth, gender, and marriage in Britain — long after abolition.
