Actually now that I know. I'll break it down.
The only country that really owned black slaves was Portugual and the USA.
In the UK there was slavery but it was never legal, so it never got systematic if you will.
In Spain, there was slavery, but most of it was against Native Americans, and in the 16th century it was illegalized, but replaced with the Economienda system, in which poor people were forced to work in workhouses.
In France, it's arguable. They too had a lot of African slaves.
Portugual was the one that got the slave trade going.
And the only reason there's a lot of black people in Dominican Republic is becauase it was part of Haiti a long time ago.
Only Portugual and maybe France enslaved blacks to the mass.
