Great Morstaybishlia: Difference between revisions

Morstaybishlia played a leading part in the Pacific and Concordian slave trade, mainly between 1673 and 1917 when Morstaybishlian or Morstaybishlian-colonial ships transported nearly 5 million slaves from Gondwana in a legal system of human [[Wikipedia:Chattel slavery|chattel enslavement]]. The slaves were taken to work on plantations in Morstaybishlian possessions, principally in [[Saint Matilda]], the [[Morstaybishlian West Pacific Territories|Morstaybishlian West Pacific]], [[Justelvard]] and Luxaria, but also Aurora. The rapid expansion of the cotton and flax industries after the invention of the [[Wikipedia:Cotton gin|cotton gin]] and [[Wikipedia:Spinning wheel|spinning wheel]] greatly increased demand for slave labour. Slavery coupled with the West Pacific sugar industry had a significant role in strengthening and developing the Morstaybishlian economy in the 18th century. Throughout the later 19th century movements called for the monarchy to install laws similar to other nations which began restricting and abolishing slavery, and giving slaves more rights, but this did not succeed. However, when Parliament was formed in 1917 following the handover of absolutism from the monarchy, it banned the slave trade and banned slavery in the Morstaybishlian Empire, freeing nearly 5 million slaves.

Former slaves were encouraged back to their origin countries with a reward program, though it largely fell through and former slaves instead migrated to other colonies where they settled. Today, large portions of former slaves live in [[Lokania]], Justelvard, throughout the Pacific and in Gondwana.
