Serfdom was abolished in Europe BEFORE slavery was abolished in USA. And Napoleon had his share in it. Again, BS and has no bearing on the subject.
In all of the lands subjugated by Napleon, the "freed" people were subjugated to the French system and were forced to "pay" for this wonderful subjection (France needed funds to support her Army AND pay its enormous debts).
