Who built the Taj Mahal? Who built the pyramids of Egypt? Who built the Cahokia Mounds and other American Indian structures? Who built the Aztec, Mayan and Inca temples? Who built Ankor Wat?

Who ended slavery? The United States.

William Wilberforce

Black Rednecks and White Liberals - Thomas Sowell

Epistle to Philemon

Basically, Christians ended slavery, long, long after the New Testament was written.

Christians, especially protestant Christians - and especially British Protestant Christians, caused the abolition of slavery. See Part II of Black Rednecks and White Liberals.

American southerners were simply uniquely situated (among Christians) to be the last to get the word.

“Who ended slavery? The United States.”

The USA was a latecomer to abolition.
