   @ChrisMayLA6 The treasury must have a list of the families they reimbursed up until 2015 for freeing the people they had enslaved. Wouldn't be too hard to find?

     I understand that the slave owners got their blood money at the time, the 2015 date is when the loans to finance it were eventually fully repaid. Money was also made by numerous individuals and institutions on the loans:
