Why did he have a statue?

He's a huge historical figure in England.

He built schools and hospitals and churches and donated immense amounts of money to the poor. He was historically seen as a hero and has a number of places/streets etc named after him.

But he got his wealth from selling slaves. So.... People be pissed.

It's the same thing you see about Colombus and George Washington
