Thanks for pointing out that Quaker Oats has no association with the actual Quaker religious community. From the Quakers I've spoken to, the fact that their name was appropriated for a brand label annoys them. Specifically, it annoys them for the most Quaker reason ever: because it was done to deceive consumers who associated actual Quakers with good quality products and honest business practices. They're very good-natured about the meaningless association with oatmeal itself, but by God are they filled with righteous indignation about the consumer deception.

Thanks for show it was certainly and enlightening video, I think a more of the usual visual aides would have help to get the point better across to have a more stimulating understanding of the stakes at play there, but I can understand that you were really trying to be as serious as possible on the subject, and I think dropping the sound effects and music was probably a good idea, keep up with those great videos dude.

I appreciate that these videos make an effort to be fair to the multitude of opinions and motivations regarding slavery. Too many people take the easy road of completely vilifying colonists of the time. It is unproductive, not only it is too easy to rebut and dismiss, but because it offers no lessons. If these people were barely human compared to us, then we have no reason to look inside ourselves.

It's interesting to see how so many want to not apply -modern morals- to this period, and yet through examples like these we see that claiming ownership of other people has always been problematic to at least some brave, moral people that lived in that moment.

I wish we were taught all this in school, it's so interesting to hear about how massive the slave trade was and how influential it's been on our current beliefs and practices.

Thanks. We can also note the leading role British Quakers played in the abolitionist campaigns which began in Britain in the 18th C.
