Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Due to harsh weather conditions and the need for skilled labor in Canada, slavery was not as widespread or successful in Canadian agriculture as it was in other regions. However, slavery did exist in Canada, including in the form of indigenous enslavement and personal ownership of slaves by individuals. The Canadian government did not pass a law abolishing slavery until 1833, several decades after the American government took action. Slavery was abolished in all of Canada at the same time.
