England did not even begin the process until 1807. One could argue that it was in part motivated by the trend in the US to diminish the institution of slavery as written into the Constitution, but, regardless, it was nations of the Anglosphere that led the way while others continued the practice, some into the 20th Century (and, some might claim, the 21st). The only thing that “ended” slavery in Africa and Asia was European colonization.
De-colonization has brought it back, in many places.
Thanks, I will be adding this to my anti 1619 thesis.
