Slavery was not abolished in Cuba until 1886 because of the sugar production. In the British colony the sugar production was not in the best conditions, so Cuba took the opportunity to supply sugar as much as possible. Slavery was abolishes until 1886 because of that.
Slavery persisted in Cuba until 1886 because of the economic significance of the sugar industry. Plantation owners relied on slave labor for profitable sugar production, and there was resistance to abolishing slavery to maintain the economic prosperity of the island. Additionally, pressures from international abolitionist movements and slave rebellions contributed to the eventual abolition in 1886.
Cuba abolished slavery on October 7, 1886, through the Moret Law, which granted freedom to all slaves in the country.
The British Empire abolished the slave trade in 1807, although slavery itself was not fully abolished until 1833. In the United States, the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution formally abolished slavery in 1865.
In 1886, Spain officially abolished slavery in its remaining colonies, such as Cuba and Puerto Rico, although there were reports of continued exploitation. The recognition of slaves as legally free individuals marked the end of institutionalized slavery in the Spanish Empire.
Slavery in most parts of Latin America ended during the 19th century. Countries like Brazil abolished slavery in 1888, while countries such as Cuba and Puerto Rico abolished it earlier in the century.
Slavery was abolished in the Caribbean in different years depending on the specific country. For example, in British colonies such as Jamaica and Barbados, slavery was abolished in 1834 with the Slavery Abolition Act. In French colonies like Haiti, slavery was abolished in 1794 during the French Revolution but then reintroduced, only to be permanently abolished in 1848.
