What year did Mexico stop having slaves?
Mexico should look in the mirror. According to the Houston Chronicle's Rachel Graves, around the turn of the 17th century, Mexico imported more African slaves than anywhere else in the New World. As a result, tens of thousands of blacks (no one knows for sure – the Mexican census does not recognize them) live in Mexico, mostly in destitute villages in its poorest states. An estimated 30,000 to 40,000 blacks live in Costa Chica.
Do you know any thing about this? Who had slaves?

So you say that there are no black decendants of Spanish/Mexican slaves living in that area of Mexico today?
Be real sure ?

Research published in 2006 [1] reports the earliest known presence of African slaves in the New World. A burial ground in Campeche, Mexico, suggests slaves had been brought there not long after Hernán Cortés completed the subjugation of Aztec and Mayan Mexico. Contemporary historians estimate that some 10 to 12 million individuals were taken from Africa to Europe, North, Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands

Typical American redneck who's never read anything but Danielle Steele's paperbacks.
What you guys call Mexico is a nation that has existed for less than 200 years, and one of the first acts of Independent Mexico was to abolish Slavery...on December 6, 1810, FYFI.
Which means that back in the 17th Century, there wasn't ANYTHING named Mexico. It was a Spanish Viceroyalty, UNDERSTOOD???
NOW MY TURN....
When was slavery ABOLISHED in the USA?
Didn't your "founding" morons possess slaves?
And how recently have african americans been lynched and murdered just because of their color?

Mexico didn't exist in 17th century, it was called New Spain and it was part of Spain Empire.

You are so wrong....The only blacks who came to Mexico were brought over by the Spanish and it was very few, never by any Mexicans....The other blacks living there migrated from Cuba to Veracruz....Stop spreading lies and misinformation, moron!
Its more fair to say, Mexicans were slaves, than to say, Mexicans were slave owners~
