When was Saint Vincent and the Grenadines emancipated?

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was emancipated from slavery on August 1, 1834, when the Slavery Abolition Act came into effect across the British Empire. This act marked the end of slavery, although it was followed by a period of apprenticeship that lasted until 1838. The country's full independence from British colonial rule was later achieved on October 27, 1979.
