Watch slavery get abolished across the world over nearly 200 years. From Haiti's revolution in 1794 to Mauritania in 1981, see which countries led the way and which held on the longest.
The Republic of Vermont outlawed slavery from its inception in 1777.

This has to be one of the worst Mercator projections ever used.

Bizarre animation that somehow confuses the abolition of slavery in the British Possessions with abolition of slavery in the United Kingdom.

Canada had slavery correlating to the time it was outlawed by the entire british empire, this included north american colonies. Early 1800s it was first outlawed (but still allowed to hold slaves you already owned) and by the 1830s it was completely abolished. Canada likely says no data because Canada wasn’t officially created as a country until 1867, so technically slavery was never legal in the country, so it couldnt be „abolished“.

Does Spain ending slavery on the mainland really count? I don’t really see it as abolition if it’s not the entirety of the realm.

I don’t get it – the Middle East still uses slaves does it not?

It would be nice if the abolishment of slavery by france in 1794 and then reinstatement of slavery in 1802 by Napoleon was visually represented here instead of a footnote that few people will read.

I’m not aware of other countries, but slavery is very much still legal in the USA. The 13th Amendment makes it explicitly clear that slavery is illegal **except** as punishment for a crime. It has not been abolished, just regulated

What kind of bullshit is this…
It’s the french that abolish slavery in all of their colonies in 1794… hence why the time frame starts in 1794… Slaves in Haïti never revolted against slavery. What kind of alternate history is this trying to depict ,
What Haïtian fought for was independence, with a bit of racial genocide in the process, but they were free man when they did so and were formed and equiped by France before they decided to go that route.
Also 1805 is when Napoleon recognise Haïti independence… but 10 years later when Napoleon falls, Haïti realise that no one else considers it that way.

You may wonder why Texas wanted independence from Mexico so bad
Wow I guess threatening to cut off people’s hands if they didn’t deliver enough rubber doesn’t count as slavery

Funny how some countries took freedom as a suggestion rather than a command. History can be awkward like that huh

In 1256, the free commune of Bologna (not a „country“ in the modern sense but an independent territory at the time, nevertheless) emanated the *Liber Paradisus** (Paradise Book) which proclaimed the abolition of slavery and the release of all serfs.
* so called because it begins with: «In the beginning God planted a paradise of delights, where he put the man whom he had formed, and adorned his body of a bright dress, **giving him the most perfect and perpetual freedom**»
