In OTL Queen Elizabeth I told Hawkins:

"...if any of the Africans were carried away without their own consent, it would be detestable, and call down the vengeance of Heaven upon the undertakers."

He reassured her that as they were introduced to Christianity and civilisation, they did not detest it, and it was in their interest.

What if she somehow found out the brutal reality, and made England an anti-slavery crusading power from her reign onwards? What impact would that have on the later American colonies, particularly the Caribbean and the South?
