I'm just wondering whether Gibraltar should be mentioned in this article since the territory was captured prior to the Treaty of Union. Any thoughts? -- Gibmetal 77 ^{talk 2 me} 11:15, 6 January 2013 (UTC) reply

A map would be great, saves time scrolling though the article to look for what regions England controlled in 1707. I might create one myself sometime. Regards, Rob ( talk) 14:27, 13 August 2013 (UTC) reply

Definitely Heligoland, not mentioned at all. It was British from 1814 to 1890. The main Heligoland article does not make it clear whether it was an overseas territory, or had any self-government.

I personally would be interested in the idea of any sources that documented how the colonies reacted to slaves introduced. This article has plenty of sources that are wide-ranging, and uses both book and online sources. Though I found one or two online sources that wouldn't show up(The Gazetteer of Bombay City and Island 1978, p. 54), i found the article to have informative sources.— RobertCurtin ( talk) 13:19, 6 September 2016 (UTC) reply
