$\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}$ @turtwig who were the ones that "followed"? $\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}$ There do not seem to be any major memorials and commemorations linked to slavery in either Spain or Portugal, which is all the more remarkable, given that these two countries were the first in Europe to practice slave trading and amongst the last to abolish it.
