It doesn't matter when the UK banned slavery.  It doeesn't matter 
when the US banned slavery.  In both places slavery has been banned 
for long enough that everyone who was alive when it was legal is 
dead.

There's nobody alive in either country that owned a slave, so nobody 
guilty.  They nobody alive in either country that worked to end 
slavery (in that country) so nobody can claim any credit for when it 
was ended.
