The earliest such camps I’ve seen referred to as ‘concentration” were hellholes the British in South Africa created for Boer families in 1900. IIRC, the US used camps during our “pacification” of the Philippines at the same time, though I don’t remember a cite for the term.

This is really fucking important to remember. People give the British a pass on a lot of shit when they did really Nazi level evil in India and South Africa and elsewhere.

We can be better.

But only If we really want to live up to those who have pointed the way.
