I'm not talking about German Nationalism, but German Supremacism.

You mean those people who chained and mistreated their slaves weren't practicing supremacism? Maybe because the people they mistreated were black and not white and Chesterton probably wouldn't have found mistreating blacks a big deal?

When you find Germans at that time saying that the English are partly German that reason to treat Englishman well and not mistreat them. I think the main issue is that you lack an idea of how other nations practiced their supremism.

Which people? England, for example, had abolished slavery in most of its Empire in 1834 and fully in 1843.
