Just browsing through [0] it seems the US began abolishing slavery before it was even a country.

What does that matter? The country still engaged in slavery for eight nine years, but had actually started in Colonial America in Virginia in 1619. So, in Virginia slavery was legal from 1619 to 1863. Yes, a petition was filed in Pennsylvania in 1688. How is this relevant?
