It's lucky the American Revolution happened in 1776 before the British had all that industrial might to suppress rebellions that they used in the Boer war and their other brutal colonial repressions.

It gave the Americans the chance to use it on the native Americans. The first concentration camps were American, not British.

Not so lucky for Black slaves in America: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_Abolition_Act_1833

Instead they would need to wait until 1865, 33-23 years later..

There are plenty of far more brutal methods of suppression used long before the Industrial Revolution, unfortunately.
