Yes and many did. Slavery was accepted in Europe as well as the colonies.
However, slavery was banned in most major European nations years before it ended in the United States. Each country had its own laws. A court case in 1772 ruled that slavery could not be enforced in England (Somersett case) and a similar ruling in Scotland in 1776 helped make sure that slaves could not be taken from America to Britain. On August 1, 1834, all slaves everywhere in the British homeland and colonies were freed.
France banned slavery during the revolutionary days (1790s) but Napoleon reinstated it in 1802. It was finally banned permanently in 1848.
Hungary ordered the freedom of all slaves entering the country in about 1000 AD.
Spain barred slavery in the home country in 1837 while trying to maintain it in the colonies.
