  • 6 months ago
The Australian Wars episode 3 - The 1830s marked a pivotal era in the history of the British Empire, characterized by the monumental abolition of slavery. This significant achievement galvanized the abolitionists, who then shifted their focus toward the challenges faced by Indigenous populations. Their noble objective was to ensure that the establishment of South Australia would be a model of fairness, particularly in negotiating land access with First Nations communities. However, the geographical distance from London, located on the opposite side of the globe, posed a significant challenge. Consequently, the aspirations for equitable arrangements or treaties remained unfulfilled, as the interests of settlers took precedence on the ground.
