No. The US was not the only place with slavery, and it was not the last to end the practice. Many countries in Central and South America also had slavery. All ended slavery within a generation or two after the US Civil War ended. If the Civil War had not brought things to a crisis, slavery would have ended at around the same time in the US, if not sooner, due to international pressure.
There is still slavery in the world, but its done very quietly, so as not to attract international outrage, in places like Haiti, and by our very best friends in Saudi Arabia.

Another View:Although, some may believe that he was completely for slavery, although he was against racial segregation, and did not believe in African-American slaves... But most likely, he was against it all together.Hell no, mother*^#@^(:)
