Trey’s Table Episode 410: That Dating App
Friday, 23 January, 2026

Some of the wealthiest women in 19th- and early-20th-century England built their fortunes on Caribbean slavery. That wealth didn’t just buy land and luxury — it made them highly sought-after wives. British men married into slavery money, and entire families secured status, estates, and political power because enslaved Africans had already paid the price. In this episode of Trey’s Table, we unpack how slavery shaped wealth, gender, and marriage in Britain — long after abolition. 🎙️ New episode out now. #TreysTable #HiddenHistory #BritishSlavery #Heiresses #WomenAndHistory #WealthAndPower #ColonialLegacy #UntoldStories #BlackHistoryGlobal #EmpireAndInequality
