Especially when obozos family owned slaves and probably still does,

To all the baiters and haters out there:

My ancestral background has nothing to do with your prejudice! There are plenty of actual slavers in the world at this present time who need your undivided attention. Get a clue!

Never let a Latin American ever lecture you about slavery, especially Mexicans. New Spain—as Mexico was then called—probably had more enslaved Africans than any other colony in the Western Hemisphere. Blacks were present as slaves of the Spaniards as early as the 1520s. Over the approximately three hundred years it lasted, the slave trade brought about 200,000 Africans to the colony. Many blacks were born in Mexico and followed their parents into slavery. Not until 1829 was the institution abolished by the leaders of the newly independent nation.

Below is the timeline of when other countries in America ended slavery:

1813: In Argentina, the Law of Wombs was passed on 2 February, by the Assembly of Year XIII. The law stated that those born after 31 January 1813 would be granted freedom when contracting matrimony, or on their 16th birthday for women and 20th for men, and upon their manumission would be given land and tools to work it. Slavery finally ends in 1853.

1814: Uruguay, before its independence, declares all those born of slaves in their territories are free from that day forward.

1819: Upper Canada: Attorney-General John Robinson declares all black residents of Canada free.

1821: Gran Colombia (Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama) declares free the sons and daughters born to slave mothers, sets up program for compensated emancipation.

1823: Chile abolishes slavery.

1831: Bolivia abolishes slavery.

1847: The last slaves in the Swedish colony Saint Barthelemy are freed. So Sweden effectively had slavery until that date.

1848: Slavery abolished in all French and Danish colonies. So France and the Denmark had slavery until that date.

1853: Argentina abolishes slavery when promulgating the 1853 Constitution.

1854: Peru abolishes slavery.

1854: Venezuela abolishes slavery.

1873: Slavery abolished in the Spanish colony of Puerto Rico.
