Your question is an interesting one because you seem to be asking which country THAT ACTUALLY PARTICIPATED IN THE SLAVE TRADE IN THE AMERICAS was the first to stop. Researching the issue, I find thet Denmark, Italy, and France all claim to have abolished the slave trade "first". If that is correct, your answer would seem to be France. I don't believe either Italy or Denmark ever had New World slaves.
