Inaccurate. I believe the only western nations to not abolish slavery before the USA were Brazil and Cuba.
Brazil was an independent nation at the time, and Cuba was a Spanish colony.
Of course, slavery hung on a lot longer, to this day in some cases, in Muslim, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern areas.
“...slavery hung on a lot longer, to this day in some cases, in Muslim, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern areas”
I thought that’w what I said.
