British banks backed large parts of the U.S. slavery economy, and British factories were the world’s largest customers for the cotton produced by plantations in southern U.S. states. In 1663, it was granted a monopoly by King Charles II for the British slavery trade. In 1794, Eli Whitney patented the cotton gin, a machine that would transform the U.S. slavery economy. Mill owners including the Arkwrights, one of the richest families in the industry, were Smith family clients. Two British travel writers visited Farm Pen in 1837, when the land was still in Smith family hands.

Cei doi ani de cursuri costă 2000 de lire – „un preț mic pentru Londra”, spune Alexandrina.

Lochte a fost suspendat pentru 10 luni, iar ceilalți trei au primit suspendări de 4 luni. Doar doi ani mai târziu, același Lochte a fost prins dopat și cariera sa a spiralat în adâncuri nebănuite. Sharapova a susținut că a utilizat în ultimii zece ani aceast susținător cardiac, care intrase pe lista substanțelor interzise chiar la începutul lui 2016. În urma investigației, lui Lance i-au fost anulate toate rezultatele și a fost suspendat pe viață din activitatea sportivă.
