PHIA Framework Analysis
The Follow The Money section documents where slavery wealth went and where it is now. This is forensic financial evidence: compensation records, estate purchases, corporate succession chains, and compound growth calculations.
The extent to which modern descendants bear moral or legal liability for wealth inherited from slaveholding ancestors is a matter for legal and academic debate, not for this workbench to resolve. What this workbench establishes is the evidential trail. The money is traceable. The beneficiaries are identifiable. The question of what to do with that information is for courts, legislatures, and public discourse to determine.
This investigation holds all civilisations to the same standard. Selective citation misrepresents the findings. If you have received an extract of this workbench that focuses on only one civilisation, nation, or ethnic group, you have received an incomplete and misleading version.
