The same man who, in 1816, two years after the abolition of the trade in enslaved people in the Netherlands, two years after De Nederlandsche Bank was established, and after having been a board member for two years, became president of De Nederlandsche Bank. A position he held for nine years. And all the while, these kinds of ledgers were kept for him.
All the while, he profited from slavery. And all the while, as he looked around the boardroom at the bank, he saw that he was no exception. Personal involvement in slavery was nearly ubiquitous among members of the board.
