Detailed explanation-1: -During the Spanish American wars for independence (1810–1826), slavery was abolished in most of Latin America, though it continued until 1873 in Puerto Rico, 1886 in Cuba, and 1888 in Brazil (where it was abolished by the Lei Áurea, the “Golden Law").
Detailed explanation-2: -Forced labour in Brazil: 120 years after the abolition of slavery, the fight goes on. On May 13th 1888, Brazil became the last nation in the Western Hemisphere to formally abolish slavery.
Detailed explanation-3: -Slavery in Cuba was a portion of the larger Atlantic Slave Trade that primarily supported Spanish plantation owners engaged in the sugarcane trade. It was practised on the island of Cuba from the 16th century until it was abolished by Spanish royal decree on October 7, 1886.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1780, Pennsylvania became the first state to abolish slavery when it adopted a statute that provided for the freedom of every slave born after its enactment (once that individual reached the age of majority). Massachusetts was the first to abolish slavery outright, doing so by judicial decree in 1783.
