Wild how some places were like „slavery? nah we’re good“ in the 1700s and others really needed multiple wars and centuries to figure it out. The map is basically a „we got our act together at different speeds“ timeline

Map is wrong. The 1833 date refers to the year of the Slavery Abolition Act, but the act did not come into effect until 1st August 183**4**.
Falklands should also be green not grey.

Across the Atlantic Mauritania outlawed it only about 20 years ago

Slavery in the Indian Territory only ended in 1866 with a set of treaties signed between the U.S. and the Five Tribes, and therefore, Oklahoma should not be grouped under the same label with the rest of the American South here.

Part of what prolonged it was also how your female slaves could be used as your own private harem. The rest was just building your economy around it.

There’s inaccuracies here. The Missouri Compromise was 1820 admitting Maine as free and Missouri as slave. It was to keep the equal balance of free/slave states in the union and NY and NJ were DEFINITELY free states.

Slavery is still legal in the US. There is an exception to the 13th amendment which still allows for unpaid forced labour and slavery.
This is what fuels the for-profit prison system.

I’m a bit confused about the justification for the 1819 date for Upper Canada, slavery was still more or less legal until it was abolished in 1833 across the British Empire (although serious limitations were placed on it in 1793 that were designed to gradually weed it out).
All that happened in 1819 was a legal opinion by the Attorney General which ruled that all people of African descent who entered Upper Canada were free men, even if they had been enslaved elsewhere, which helped lead to the development of the Underground Railroad. At the time there were still slaves in Upper Canada though.

The indigenous in BC held slaves well into the early 1900s

Texas literally seceded from Mexico because it was part of it when they abolished slavery.

If you read the 13th amendment to the US Constitution carefully, you should realise that it didn’t actually abolish slavery..

The only jurisdiction on this map that was founded as anti slavery was the Northwest Territory in the US.

Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821. 8 years after it was abolished. Not bad tbh

I thought only the U.S. only ever had slaves?!?!?!

Maryland abolished slavery in 1864.

A lot of inaccuracies and half-truths. Also, assuming this is for chattel slavery, that should be specified. Lastly, this should be based on the final abolition of slavery. For instance, Mexico has had to ban slavery multiple times because it kept being reinstated.
