The United States and England dabbled with the “peculiar institution” for a relatively short period of time historically when compared to other nations in the past, and both ended it for ethical reasons, albeit we had a war, but it was ended. And the wheels were in motion to abolish slavery long before the Civil War itself, so it was only a matter of time. Western European culture is never credited anywhere in the media with that remarkable accomplishment.
Good points.
The “Western” world is largely responsible for eradicating slavery world wide in civilized countries, and in those that are not civilized, it is kept away from the light of the day.
England deserves credit (The Royal Navy, particularly their efforts in this area) for the beginning of the end, and we in the USA deserve some credit as well for making it disappear in the republic.
Anyone who knows history understands why we could not abolish slavery in a fledgling republic.
