The US outlawed slavery long before most other countries did. I believe Hungary was the first country to outlaw slavery but the US was in the first ten or so to do so.

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.

The Abolition of Slavery with the price of American Blood, REDEEMED the country not ruined it.
Jim Crow ( a democrat idea) almost Ruined things.
