We are not proud of having been the world's largest slavetrading nation. And trafficking of people, or modern slavery is a large problem, but not only in our country. Because of its geographical position, with the world's third (after Singapore and Shanghai) largest port, Rotterdam, the Netherlands is an ideal place on the route.
Lincoln gave his Emancipation Proclamation in 1862, effective 1865. His proclamation was an executive order which means it stood, unless overturned. As you see, it was NOT overturned.
And on the other subject, "excuses are like assholes".
Furthermore, regardless of whether it was 1863 or 1865, based on your own country's history, you still have NO ROOM to yack your mouth.
Nuff said.
