The last industrial nation to abolish slavery was Brazil, which officially ended the practice with the passage of the Lei Áurea (Golden Law) on May 13, 1888. This law freed all enslaved people in the country without compensation to slave owners. Brazil's abolition followed decades of activism and pressure from abolitionist movements both domestically and internationally. The decision marked a significant turning point in the history of slavery, as Brazil was one of the last countries in the Americas to do so.
