with the exception of "the Territories in the Possession of the East India Company"
That's a heck of an asterisk ^_^
I don't think it needs to devolve into specific country vs specific country. The take away, for me, is that "white" culture in general pushed this new social structure of not having slaves...the practical problems that slavery solved for thousands of years still existed, and so western culture developed other solutions for the labor problem (industrial revolution, working class, taxes, etc).
