What were the last places in the Americas to abolish slavery?

The last places in the Americas to abolish slavery were Brazil and Cuba. Brazil officially ended slavery in 1888 with the signing of the Lei Áurea (Golden Law), making it the final country in the Americas to do so. Cuba abolished slavery in 1886, although the process of emancipation had begun earlier, with gradual reforms leading to the final decree. These events marked significant milestones in the long struggle for freedom and equality in the region.
