This is a sentence of the lesson «Rights won step by step: freedom, votes and children's rights» of the history course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Britain, forced labour), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
