The end of slavery in most Latin American nations:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In most Latin American nations, the end of slavery involved gradual emancipation accompanied by recognition of owners' legal rights to slave property. This meant that slaves were not immediately freed but had to work towards their freedom through a system of apprenticeships or other forms of labor contracts. This approach was different from the violent slave revolts that occurred in many parts of the Caribbean and in Brazil. The end of slavery in Latin America was not directly related to the emancipation of slaves resulting from the American Civil War.
