The late Walter E. Williams, the renowned economics professor at George Mason University, expressed similar sentiments in May 2019. Calling such false assertions as “America created slavery” a “favorite leftist tool,” Williams wrote, “Slavery is by no means peculiar, odd, unusual or unique to the U.S.”Slavery was specifically declared illegal in Georgia when it became a colony in 1733, only to be legalized in 1750 by the king of England when it became a royal colony. When Vermont declared itself an independent republic in 1777, it abolished slavery at the same time. (Vermont was made the 14th state in 1791). Other states that ended slavery early included Pennsylvania in 1780; New Hampshire and Massachusetts in 1783; Connecticut and Rhode Island in 1784; New York in 1799; and New Jersey in 1804.https://thenewamerican.com/magazine/...9/page/125191/Abolition in America pre-dated almost the entire world. While Peter the Great abolished outright slavery in Russia in 1723, he converted Russians into serfs, and it was not until 1861 that serfdom finally ended in Russia. Mexico abolished slavery in 1829. France initially abolished slavery in 1794, but it was reestablished by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802, before being permanently ended in the French colonies in 1848
