this is not correct on the Muslim world (at least in general terms), but of course slavery was rarely hereditary in these places

Depends on how you define abolition. We have record of sales of slaves in the Ottoman Empire up through the 1900s, but there was no slavery on the level comparable to what occured in the US.

Ragusa (now Dubrovnik) was IIRC the first government in the West to formally ban slavery, in 1416.

Wasn't America like...one of the last countries to formally abolish slavery? And 600,000+ people had to die for it...and then we still had segregation, de facto continuation of slavery afterwards, mass-imprisonment. These people live in a fantasy world.
