Otherwise we would have been first

Japan abolished slavery in 1590

China in 1723

You and your fucking asian history knowledge lol

>Japan.
>China.

Both countries guy

Pennsylvania Abolition Society formed in 1775

Ah, the countries famous for basically treating their population like slaves banned slaves first.

Again, read my statement, bruh.

1700’s was when abolitionism became a concept.

Except in japan

Gradual abolition of slavery in various states in 1700s

It didn’t catch on until the 1800’s.

Except in the north where it did?

And most of those places still would recognize slave property.

Since before America was formed?

Spain abolished 1811

Sweden 1813, Netherlands 1814

The south were behind man

France 1817

No.

Yes

Unless rags is making shit up

Which he isnt really known to

Spain’s and France’s colonies continued to practice slavery into the 1870’s and 1880’s with Spain’s colonies being some of the last in the Caribbean to ban slavery.

Colonies lmao

Because some of those colonies like Cuba refused to obey the law

@Little Boots you are wrong. First country to abolish slavery was Portugal in 1761

The British were the first to ban it in all of their colonies in 1833.

Except Brazil, a colony of Portugal, continued to practice slavery into the 1880’s.

That includes Brazil

America banned it in 1775 but the south voted it back

How marginalized

It wasn’t officially banned until the 1880’s and was the last country to do so.

Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) abolished slavery. Overturned when they fell, abolished again in 9 AD under Xin Dynasty

America in 1775 was leagues different than America in 1860, you moron.

Thays because Brazil gained independence and rolled it back

Because of the souths temper tantrum

You slaver

Still, Portugal 1761, first one

873 AD, all Catholic countries ordered to emancipate all Christian slaves, by Pope John VIII

That’s because Qin basically used workers as chattel slavery for much of his time and was considered a brutal tyrant.

Ragnarok, that’s not the entirety of all slaves.

Much like the south

960 AD, Republic of Venice abolished slavery

After the slaves were freed

1117 AD, slavery abolished in Iceland

Which continued until the 60s and 70s

No wonder youre upset

Slavery abolished in Norway prior to 1274

>Iceland.

Probably had granpa blow a load in your mouth as he told you how cool lynching blacks was

Yes, the Viking colony was the one to ban slaves.

Also, most of these cases involve banning the enslavement of Christians. It doesn’t outright prohibit all forms of slavery.

Like in the south with the heathens

And most certainly didn’t extend this to their colonies.

Slavery was bad man even then

There were no colonies in 1000 AD

Stop moving the goal post

Again, not really, no.

Lithuania 1588

Only people who could do it was the rich and morally corrupt

Slavery was considered just a common activity for thousands of years with it only recently being banned and declared an absolute amoral.

1761 is not recent

Rags has listed more than ebough to show the south were behind

Russia 1723

Even russia lol

1761 is pretty recent.

200+ years is not recent

Jeez

Especially considering slavery has been practiced since 2000 BCE.

He doesnt like to admit he is wrong

Rape has also. Does that mean it's okay?

Even if you name 10 contries that did it first

Earth has been around for billions of years

Neanderthals were recent smh

Adultery too. Can I fuck your wife?

Adultery is condemned in the Bible, you fucking cretin.

And my point still stands.

That wasnt all people

Who the fuck Cares about the Bible? Lol

Because most of your examples are exceptions, not the rule.

And you could beat your wife in the 1900s

Is that ok?

Ehzek, back then, it was alright.

Which is my point.

The gap between most of those countries abolishing slavery, and the south doing so is about 300 years. That's a huge gap. 300 years ago, I'd be standing in the British Empire

He named most of the white countries

South wasnt right

The British Empire's shitty penal colony that is

Is was one of the last

300 years ago I had colonies

You cannot judge the past based on our modern beliefs because the past had different standards for what was considered “moral.”

Gud Times

We can if they had those standards back then

Which they did

No, it isn’t because Spain and France continued to practice slavery *in their colonies* into the 1870’s and 1880’s.

Meaning that they were still practicing slavery.

Just this loud fucking group of southerners behind the damn times

The institution that determined morality for an entire continent still exists today and has the exact same standards for morality now, we know this because we have access to their documents

Colonies aren't countries
