That's not really true about the British, and the Japanese banned slavery more than 200 years earlier than the perfidious Albions. Even if you had been right, Britain's Imperial heyday came after it abolished slavery, creating an exploitative economic dependency whose effects are still felt in many ways today, so it's even more insidious than slavery in some ways.
