Mexican here (sorry if my English is bad lol), even though Mexico had very advanced Civil Laws, almost none of those laws were actually enforced. Mexico had a neofeudal sistem all the way until the 1910s, the current democratic government (wich dates to the 1920s) just recently had their first real democratic elections in the year 2000, and homosexuality was criminalized by local police all trought the past century.

Yeah, a lot of these videos only show what was on the books and not if it was actually enforced.

nobody asked but incase you were interested the reason why Canada didn't have universal suffrage until 1960 is because any first nations and indigenous people who lived on reserves, were not allowed to vote (non-reserve indigenous people could, but is tied up with the forced assimilation that the Canadian government was attempting to do) Also the reason why Quebec and ;Newfoundland and Labrador have different times for the adoption of female suffrage is that until 1948 Newfound land was a separate entity from the rest of Canada but a part of the British Empire as a Dominion for a period of time. Quebec on the other hand was extremely culturally conservative for the time with the addition of the Duplessis governments during the 30's to the late 50's Quebec largely did not become a secularized society till the quiet revolution. So women were not granted the ability to vote in provincial elections , but could vote in federal elections until 1940, thought Quebec did not have a single female member of provincial parliament until 1961 largely coinciding with the "Quiet Revolution'.

[@Nico_M.]

In the case of Argentina, the map is correct in that the slavery was officially abolished in 1853 by the creation of a new Constitution (which, with many ammendments, is the one we have today), but at that time there weren't that many slaves. Before that, in 1813 there was an assembly that established several things, including "freedom of wombs" (children of slaves would be automatically free), and freedom for any slave that entered the territory (i.e. banning the import of slaves). And while the country in the first half of the 19th century didn't have a centralized government, those declarations were more or less respected. So, I believe in the map Argentina should be orange from 1813 to 1853, and maybe yellow.

Whoa wtf this vid is surprisingly new?? I came to the comments to give feedback then saw "5 minutes ago" lmao. Nice! Still, Brazil gets marked as orange starting 1831; I'm guessing that's because of the Feijó law passed partly due to pressure from the British, yes? Still, despite the law being a thing, it was really never enforced and effectively only banned imports from Africa directly to Brazil afaik, and imports were still being made through Africa -> someplace in South America -> Brazil. I think depicting that by making Brazil be stripped red and orange would be interesting! Imports were only banned *for real* in 1850 with the Eusébio de Queiroz law. And that was all I could catch!

[@adambezzate8735]

the data for Brazil is kinda wrong, indeed in 1831 by the law of feijó barbacena it was declared that all Africans brought to Brazil after its enactment would be considered free. However, enforcement was lax, and those responsible for enforcing the law were often the same individuals profiting from the slave trade. As a result, the law had little practical effect. Something that verify this is that in the 1840's was the peak by number of african slaves coming to Brazil. The slave trade only stopped after pressures from the Uk by the Bill Aberdeen act (which created diplomatic issues between Brazil and the United Kingdom), and only in 1850 that Brazil definitely banned the slave trade, by the Eusebio de Queiros law.

[@HeitorS.-dh2wl]

[@Argacyan]

I feel like some of it is simplified outside of just borders. Like the 13th amendment to the US constitution legalizing slavery as a form of punishment even while prohibiting it outside the penal system. You can call it not eliminating a problem entirely, but the "entirely" there is doing some heavy lifting for what is otherwise partially-legalized slavery which was followed by what has been exhaustively analyzed as a period of over-incarceration of the groups of people who were overtly freed into that penal-slavery system.

[@EmperorTigerstar]

That's merely forced prison labor. Slavery takes it further and implies flat out legal ownership of a person, which prisons technically do not do.

[@Argacyan]

@@EmperorTigerstar In overt terms that's debatable, but in plain text the amendment overtly states slavery or involuntary servitude are excepted as punishment for parties duly convicted in those terms. Using the term "slavery", even if this openly implies legal ownership can be sanctioned. I can link to the text of the amendment if necessary.

[@EmperorTigerstar]

It's specifically the involuntary servitude that is excepted for prison labor, not slavery. That's how it's worded. Slavery *nor* involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime.

[@Argacyan]

@@EmperorTigerstar Section 1 is: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Idk if you intended to write a second "nor" into that or not.

[@everythingpizzaandknuckles6268]

While I agree that prison labor is questionable at best, it's rather foolish to debate a historian on whether it should legally be considered slavery or not. I'm nowhere near Tigerstar's level of historical knowledge, but even I know that, at least legally speaking, the two are not the same. Edit: also, did you just not read the "as a punishment for a crime" part?

[@PringleAdMaker]

Who else needs to watch this video at least 3 times to follow?

[@deltharion]

I feel there is a significant lack of representation concerning universal suffrage in Mexico during the years 1910-1940, commonly referred to as the "revolutionary period". During this period, many social causes became more prominent, and groups pressured their state governments to stop "exclusionary" practices and ensure greater democratic participation. For example, in 1916 in Yucatan, the feminist movement under the auspices of the first feminist congress of Yucatan gained significant strength, and by 1923, they achieved state recognition of women's suffrage, inaugurating three of the first female deputies in the country's history. Other states followed, such as Chiapas and Tabasco, which granted women the right to vote between 1925 and 1930.

[@Hisscreeper46]

Point of note for decriminalization or legalization of same-sex relations: effectiveness varies wildly. Sex acts between two people of the same sex in private was legalized in Canada in 1969, but overall arrests of people on the grounds of homosexuality increased afterwards. People continued to be arrested for 'public' homosexuality (including non-sexual acts, like kissing or hand-holding, or sex acts that occurred in private buildings that had three or more people present) as that was both still illegal and easier to prosecute. There are records of such arrests up to 1988.

[@megustaelmate5499]

Se declara la libertad de vientres, donde hijos nacidos de esclavos eran gente libre. Igualmente desde tiempos del Virreinato del Río de la Plata, para tener un esclavo tenías que cumplir con las demandas impuestas: - Que tenga cama y techo. - Comidas diarias. - Una recompensa por su trabajo. - La garantía de que no le ibas a hacer ningún daño físico. En caso de que un esclavo sufriera algún tipo de daño por parte de su dueño, el esclavo podía ir a denunciar el hecho y el dueño perdería el beneficio de poseer esclavos. Mientras el esclavo sería re ubicado en un lugar donde cumplan con sus demandas. Igual tomemos en cuenta que las actuales provincias argentinas que conformaron el Virreinato del Río de la Plata tenía a la Ciudad de Buenos Aires como principal economía, y los esclavos eran más usados para trabajos de campo.

The definition of homosexuality was also different from western legal codes. In a twist of fate, while 1858 marked a theoretically more liberal law change, the 19th century also saw increased enforcement & harsher definitions of what homosexuality actually means. The law change was seen as technical decriminalization in private, while posing otherwise a harsher ban beyond that. At least according to what I found online.

Is there a site somewhere that expands on the terminology you've used? What does "Limited Suffrage" mean in this video? (I realize that historically there have been limits based on property-holdings, age, marrital-status, "literacy-tests" that functioned as racial barriers). What's the difference "Slavery Banned by Law" and "Gradually Abolishing Slavery"? Upper Canada, for example "banned" slavery in 1793 but did not actually emancipate any slave already living there, but is coloured "slavery banned by law" in the map.

The map is good. But i do have some nitpicks, specifically about Brazil, the first abolitionist law was signed in 1871 (Law of the Free Birth) that's where should start the gradual abolition of slavery, also in 1885 the then provinces of Amazonas and Ceara fully abolished Slavery, so i do think they shoukd be highlighted in green in 1885. Also I do think that putting Brazil in little to no suffrage in 1964 until 1985 is a mistake, in Brazil Legislative Elections and Municipal ones were still held, and the Military didnt really change the numbers muchs as they tried to pretend democracy, and ysed other methods "within the law, like gerrymandering and an electoral college to keep their majoriity in congress. I do think a new category should be created or then place it in partial suffrage as you can argue that many of the opposition had their rights stripped but the majority still could "vote". Also in 1951 a law against racial discrimination was created, "Lei Affoson Arinos".

As incredibly hard as it is to be a trans person in 2024, I'm reminded that it's going to be ok thanks to videos like this.

We will not be gotten rid of.

Also, in the case of Hispanic America, I think the period of independence wars and the early years of independent republics/monarchies should be highlighted in orange from at least 1810. In many places, the first congresses formed abolished slavery from the outset (this excluding the legislation enacted in Spain that greatly limited the practice and prohibited the importation of more slaves). For example, in Mexico, the first general governing council, led by Miguel Hidalgo, abolished slavery in 1810. Later, in 1813, this was reaffirmed in the Congress of Anáhuac during the issuance of the "Sentiments of the Nation," the first legal acting document with constitutional powers signed in the nation (excluding the Constitution of Cádiz promoted in Spain, which interestingly had similar views on slavery). In the independent Mexico, the legislative bodies of each state made slavery illegal before it was universally abolished in 1829.

dejure slavery was banned in Western nations throughout the 19th century, but say the US-defacto slavery like Convict Leasing and Debt Peonage persisted until in Dec 1941, FDR, worrying about Axis Proppganda, had a Circular issued which would enforce federal persecution on slavery.

I'm sorry but Argentina is wrong about democracy and slavery: male partial democracy, slave trade prohibition and no new slaves laws started all in 1813 (which is basically the reason for independence). The last slaves died around the 1840s and full male democracy started in 1914. Then, the 20th century is a little more complicated with all the CIA backed coups...

[@pacc2512]

I appreciate quite a lot the way that the video is made! Great stuff, as always. I get that this may be because of simplification of the concept, but I would like to add that in terms of female voting rights, Chile had two phases. In 1935 (if I recall correctly) it was legalized for municipal (local) elections, while the date of 1949 shown in the video is when presidential (and national) voting rights were granted. On the other hand, if you reaaaaaaally wanna go that way (which I don't), the dictatorship "granted" universal suffrage for the plebiscites of 1978, 1980 and 1988, although of course the first two elections were rigged, and on the third the communist militants were not allowed to vote, as its party was still legally banned until 1989
