It argues that her influence and decisions contributed significantly to the establishment of slavery, positioning her as a pivotal yet unacknowledged figure in this dark chapter of history. By shifting the focus to Elizabeth I, the narrative invites readers to reconsider the complexities and responsibilities surrounding the institution of slavery.
