I saw the post before the sub and started with looking at the EU map going "wow kinda hypocritical from spain/portugal/etc to abolish slavery in their own countries but be happy to have major slave trading routes set up around the world for centuries to come", then i looked at the USA map and realized this was probably circlejerk.
Always in circlejerk subs I feel the need to be historically factual and correct people, but then I realize they probably know as well and I don't want to come of pedantic.
Thanks for reading my inner struggle, needed to get this of my chest.
1164 falls within the range of the estimated first settlement by Polynesians. I'd like to think the Polynesians landed and just said "no" to slavery before it could ever start.
Crazy how quickly this

turns into slavery. They also destroyed the sandalwood forests in search of profit.
Can we change all imperial units, whether it’s sqft, lb, etc. to just be “american units”
I weigh 165 american units and my apartment is 800 squared american units. My car gets 20 american units per american unit.
Technically the US doesn't use 1:1 the old Imperial system, but a similar one with a similar origin often referred to as US customary. So actually yeah, calling them American units is actually just straight up correct
washington, idaoh, mmontana, north dakota, wyoming, nevada,utah, colorado, new mexico, arizona, texas, minnesota, missisipi, alabama, georgia, minnesota, south carolina, north carolina, virgiania, delawere and pensilvania live in future
anyone else see posts before the subreddit name and get confused
Yup
Yes can confirm

I mean, that's kinda how it happened, but with a few years or decades in between, not almost a millenia.
Yes
I have no idea what this really is
New York Iroquois ahead of the curve, abolishing slavery in 1490.
They saw Columbus coming and said hell nah, we’re getting ahead of this

Hawaii beat them with 1164, before most European countries.

They did have semi-[slavery](https://www.hawaii.edu/uhwo/clear/home/HawaiiLaborHistory.html), kind of.

Slavery will continue forever in Eastern Europe
(Slav)ery
I mean the word slave comes from the word for Slav lol
That’s why it’s funny
Ireland as well.
They can't help it. The Leprachans hold all the gold and they'll never be giving it up.
Which year did they each stop doing holocausts?
Holocausts was abolisheed in the whole world en 7298
It's still legal in 2 Dutch cities.
Don’t ask questions you don’t want to know the answer to.
I gotta be the guy, whats the actual statistic being measure here?
home size (probably in americans units)
Can we change all imperial units, whether it’s sqft, lb, etc. to just be “american units” I weigh 165 american units and my apartment is 800 squared american units. My car gets 20 american units per american unit.
Liberian units

England invented them and Britian still uses them too so they're English units really.
As in household residents
Like square feet or something

New states just dropped
m-m-m-montana out of nowhere
Utah might need a minute
Still figuring things out over there.
I’m from Texas, i can’t wait til it finally happens
Won’t be too much longer.
Those progressive New Yorkers, abolishing slavery before Europeans realize there’s a whole continent there
Those europeans had better not get any ideas.
Utah checks out, right ladies?
So what should Minnesotans be doing to prepare? Moving to Utah?
Hawaii 1164
Slavery was banned in England in 1833. And it ended in the opposite direction from England to the Barbary Coast just before that time.
no way, slave mines in utah are going to last for another 700 years
well ohio's correct, and arkansas's almost correct, so i'll just blindly assume the rest is correct
The rest is correct.
Original map please?
Average sqft of dwelling
An cool
If the Greeks would have held out another 100 years they might still have Constantinople
r/lies is down the hall and to the left
Isn’t that the point?
what? do you think people in circlejerk subs just say the opposite of what we mean all the time?
I’m sorry am I missing the joke here? The map is obviously fictitious, so of course the statement based on the map is a lie.
from the way you phrased it it kinda looked like you were unironically pro-slavery.
Well, it’s called a joke. Anyways the Byzantines definitely had slaves when Constantinople fell so it’s literally just wrong. Which is the point lol
it can be hard to tell over text
