That is pretty much exactly what the British did when they ended slavery.

Not analogous situations. There were far fewer slaves in Britain, and they still maintained slavery in their colonies for some time, tapering it off.

That’s how they ended it their colonies (Emancipation Bill of 1833), so yes - it is analagous.
