Slave owners were also compensated in the USA.
Almost none of them, no? It looks like this was DC-only and very late (1862).
stop paying these annuities at any point
The annuities had become regular UK debt, though, no? And could be owned by anyone, not just descendents of slaveholders?
I absolutely misread that same Wikipedia article. My bad.
As for the annuities, while they could have been sold, some may have still been held by the decedents of the slave holders.
That seems almost aggressively misleading. “Some of this category of debt may have been held by these descendants, therefore it should have been invalidated”, as you seem to be implying, proves far too much.
