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

Colonies are under the control and dominion of a country.

Except they arent

Not like the actual country

Hence why we won our revolution

Meaning that they should be subject to the same laws as the home country, but apparently not in the case of France and Spain.

British America had their own legislatures and army before 1775

If we were Irish...

Which is my point.

They allowed for slavery to continue up until recently in their colonies.

Allowed=/=couldnt prevent

Why? Because they only had exceptions to the rule rather than believing slavery was outright amoral.

They only believed enslaving fellow countrymen was illegal, but not enslaving others.

No because the colonies werent listening

James Oglethorpe founded Georgia with an explicit ban on slavery, saying "occasion the misery of thousands in Africa"
