What I love about this story is that it has basically been a meta homework assignment for Americans

*Statue of Edward Colston has been pulled down and throw into the water*

Americans: "Right On......erm....wait.... who the fuck is that.... *research and learns something* oooooooohhhhh so that's why...."

Maybe this is the future of how to get children to do homework. Viral psychology, just make viral stories that makes kids look the stuff up on their own

With a quick google search, apparently this Edward Colston contributed a lot to the city of Bristol during his time. Sure, he made money on the slave trade but if he really did so much good for his city that probably deserves some memorialization.

Edward Colston (2 November 1636 11 October 1721) was an English slave trader, merchant, philanthropist, and Member of Parliament. He supported and endowed schools, almshouses, hospitals and churches in Bristol, London and elsewhere. His name is commemorated in several Bristol landmarks, streets, three schools and the Colston bun. Many of his charitable foundations still survive.[1] His wealth was largely acquired through the trade and exploitation of slaves.

Do your own homework.

Anyway he was a wealthy man in the 17th/18th century and a big political figure. He used his wealth to build churches, hospitals and schools as well as programs and donoations to help the poor. Making him a popular historical figure and icon in England with statues and shit named after him.

The controversy is that all that wealth came from the slave trade. He was a big old slave trading bastard.
