There are only 193 countries in the United Nations. By your math, -1 countries have outlawed slavery.

So there's definitely a problem here and I think it's on your end!

So, about that - the last country to abolish slavery was Mauritania in 1981, the last country to criminalize slavery was Mauritania again in 2007.

Arguably, you could say that government corruption has allowed slavery to exist there unofficially, but your meme is still flat out incorrect.

What did America do in 1920 related to slavery? You do know that slavery currently exists in the United States?

Yes...by immigrants in almost all cases.
I know more people died defeating slavery than there were slaves....

I highly doubt that. The estimates of Civil War deaths is 650,000-850,000 nevermind that it was not a war to "defeat slavery". Meanwhile, "The importation of slaves into the United States was banned by Congress (under Constitutional command) in 1808, yet by 1860, the nation’s black population had jumped from 400,000 to 4.4 million, of which 3.9 million were slaves."

Also, "The practices of slavery and human trafficking are still prevalent in modern America with estimated 17,500 foreign nationals and 400,000 Americans being trafficked into and within the United States."

You just can't seem to get anything right can you?

You do know that the slavery that exists in this country is practiced by illegal underground groups, right? It isn't the United States as a whole.

No doofus, I thought it was still the early 1800s. Whooooooooosh.
