  - The show QI is very pedantic. I'm just trying to find the clip online. -- nm - LMS Nov 16, 07:59
  - I did enjoy the bit on TV Nation where Michael Moore bought some slaves in Mississippi just before they officially outlawed it there. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 07:54 1
    - they had to outlaw it in individual states? doesn't the Emancipation Act cover it? -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 07:55
Don't you all still have house elves over there? Free Dobby! (1984.) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 07:40 1
- There's no way Thatcher would give up holding slaves. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 07:50
1942? -- nm - zork Nov 16, 07:37
1834 I believe -- nm - Walt_Disney Nov 16, 07:28 4
- Though it was being phased out before that. -- nm - Walt_Disney Nov 16, 07:29 3
  - No - hint - LMS Nov 16, 07:34 2
    - In Canadian History class we were told that we followed the British Empire in outlawing and I was sure it was 1834....goes to check. -- nm - Walt_Disney Nov 16, 07:48

        Think very recent. -- nm - LMS Nov 16, 07:46 4
        
        2008? -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 07:47 3

        at this point just admit I won! -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 07:49 1
        
        You won - it's April 2010. From what I can gather it's a matter of cleaning up semantics on the law books. -- (link) - LMS Nov 16, 07:52
errrr, it's illegal? -- nm - The Royal Family Nov 16, 07:26
