Argentina did not completely abolish slavery until 1861, just two years before Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
Nowadays there is talk in the US of reparations for slavery. Just as Argentina was under Spanish colonial domination, thirteen North American colonies were ruled by Britain until Cornwallis surrendered in 1781. In Argentina's case independence was won in 1810 however slavery lasted for over half a century later. If reparations are to be paid, it would seem fair for the US to share the expenses with Britain and Argentina with Spain. According to the author of the article, the Society of Jesus (to which the current Pope belongs) also owned slaves in Argentina. Perhaps Argentina's Jesuits should also contribute to the payment of reparations. Any thoughts?
