Maybe the startling revelation should be that it was the white Europeans
who led the fight to abolish slavery. Britain had acted first to
abolish the slave trade, and later to abolish it completely. The natives
on the west coast of Canada maintained slaves for half a century after
it had been abolished in the east.
