Spain outlawed slavery BEFORE 1492 ~ American slavery has several different European sources ~ Portugual, England, France, Netherlands ~ and several native American sources. The Iroquois kept whole tribes subordinate to their needs, and as they adopted European ways, they maintained large farms in New York worked by black and European slaves or bond servants.

Why do you feel the need to just make stuff up?

It was in 1542, not 1492, that Spain enacted a law abolishing colonial slavery, but was forced to weaken these laws by 1545. In 1811 Spain finally abolished slavery at home and in all colonies except Cuba,[15] Puerto Rico, and Santo Domingo-

Slavery was not abolished in those colonies until 1866-
