It’s interesting to see when the rest of the world got rid of slavery. The US was not alone as liberals would have us believe. In South America the average life span for slaves was 1/3 that of US slaves.

AFAICS, the USA is an abolition pioneer for its era, once the colonies became states; but in 1789, slavery was still legal in New York, New Jersey and Delaware, interestingly enough.
