Which province in the British Empire was the first to abolish slavery and in what year?

Upper Canada in 1793

Upper Canada was the first to abolish slavery in 1793, making it the right answer as it aligns with the historical timeline. Nova Scotia abolished slavery in 1800, making it the closest to the correct answer but not the first. Lower Canada abolished slavery in 1833, which is 53 years after Upper Canada. British Columbia did not become part of the British Empire until 1858, making it impossible for it to be the first to abolish slavery.
