Cuba and Brazil are not in the US and had no influence on American policy. It was the South that was the primary force for keeping slavery alive in the United States and thus the South should be criticized for it. By the 1800s the slave trade in Arabia and Central Africa had been stopped thanks to the British Navy. I agree that the northern states are not innocent of racism and treating black like crap, but none of them wanted slavery. The last slaves were freed in the border states but it was done voluntarily. It took 2 Union Armies make the slave holders in the South give up their slaves.

Wrong....the some of the border states did not free the slaves until late 1865 with the 13th amendment. States that had never been under anything but Union authority.


Saudi Arabia did not outlaw chattel slavery until 1960.

And slavery continues today as you know trans Saharan.

You Yankees screw the pooch same as anybody else...only thing is....you think you're better at it..lol
