I don't think he limited that remark to slavery as practiced in America. It has been a crime throughout history, as any group that was strong enough to enslave another group did so.

It was only Western culture that said, "Wait, we have the power to enslave others, but it is wrong, and we are going to stop it." Then, they made the whole rest of the world stop it, too. (Except for pockets of slavers still existing in Africa). That's one reason I'm proud to be an American, and proud of everything all those dead white guys have given the world.
