Really interesting way to find out about history

I thought it was a good read because we learn about the history of the British Empire and what happened back then. I thought it was a bit cruel and sad as lots of people died. It was factual so it interested me because I like learning about history. I would recommend it to someone as it tells us all about what are happened in the past.

This fact book included information regarding slavery and what British people did to get them. It was a gruesome book thou it told me many facts to do with our history. Although informative this book was not a fun book or enjoyable for me. If you don't mind reading gruesome information and want to learn more history then this is the book for you.

I thought it was very interesting and informative. It interests me as they do not go into A lot of detail about the British empire at school. I would recommend it to anyone who likes history and find about things.

It interested me because... the people that were in charge were so mean to the poorer people [slaves] and sent some of the slaves to Australia!!!
