- dragonwriter 6y ago> Many countries in the western hemisphere had slavery at the time. 4 in the New World and that's counting the USA and CSA separately. About 5 more in the west coast of Africa which are in the “Western Hemisphere." But not “many”, in any case. But only one of them was formed in rebellion citing preservation of both slavery and white racial supremacy as key motivations.
- rsynnott 6y agoNot many, and realistically most were heading down the road to phase-out. None, as far as I'm aware, were putting the idea that _slavery must always exist_ in their constitutions. The CSA was bizarrely, uniquely, absolutist about the importance of slavery.
