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

  1. Upper Canada in 1793

  2. Lower Canada in 1785

  3. Nova Scotia in 1758

  4. Prince Edward Island in 1773

The correct answer is: Upper Canada in 1793

Upper Canada in 1793 was the first province in the British Empire to abolish slavery. Nova Scotia in 1758 and Prince Edward Island in 1773 also abolished slavery, but they were not part of the British Empire at the time. Lower Canada (now Quebec) did not officially abolish slavery until 1834, nearly 40 years after Upper Canada. It is also worth noting that while Upper Canada abolished slavery in 1793, it was not fully enforced until 1810. This delay was due to conflicting laws and political turmoil in the province.
