>>The US is just 200 years old and went through slavery which was banned in most parts of the world thousands of years ago.<<

Er, no. Slavery is still legal in parts of Africa. Europeans enslaved Africans even into the 20th century, see, e.g., King Leopold in the Belgian Congo (read Heart of Darkness). These days the main culprits are Muslims.

England started emancipation in 1838, and was done in 1848. Slavery was legal in Brazil until 1888. I think that's the latest in the Americas.
