Questions:

A. Alexander II of Russia's emancipation of the serfs & Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation for American slaves occurred at about the same time (1863). Which one was more significant or more difficult politically or logistically?

B. The UK (British Empire) ended slavery in 1833. Brazil did not end slavery until 1888. It also had the largest total numbers of slaves taken from Africa; more than any other nation or empire.

How should the US and Russian governments' (or leaders') actions in 1863 be looked upon in regard to this timeline? Is human nature towards fellow humans simply irredeemable? and did greed make governments and citizens resist doing the right thing (emancipation) until way too late?
