71. Easy.

Slavery was known in almost every ancient civilization and society including Sumer, Ancient Egypt, Ancient China, the Akkadian Empire, Assyria, Ancient India, Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, the Hebrew kingdoms of the ancient Levant, and the pre-Columbian civilizations of the Americas.

Rome and Greece practiced slavery for centuries on end. Their empires went far, far longer than the U.S. BTW the U.S. is not 4 centuries old. It is 228 years old if you date from the Constitution. Slavery was not an original institution of the colonies. It was introduced by the British who made money off it by transporting slaves from Africa.

In the more modern era slavery existed in almost all the European tribes/nations, the Arab tribes/nations, China, and the African tribes/nations where it continues to exist to this very day.

I not aware of any other nation where hundreds of thousands died to end the institution of slavery. (The Civil War in case you forgot). What other nation went to such an extreme to end their slavery? Answer: None.
