long-term economic prospect of Slavery, yeah of course it was going to die out eventually
Not just eventually; it wouldn't die out completely, but the advancement of the progress of production would significantly reduce the amount of people enslaved, because there would be far fewer people needed to perform different tasks, and it would quickly become more expensive to have many human slaves than fewer ones using machinery.

Many states in the US allowed for black slaves up to the Civil War; the difference is you had far fewer plantations in the north than the south.

And few people could even afford slaves; the majority of people who owned slaves owned, at most, one, MAYBE two. Keeping slaves was expensive unless you were rich as absolute shit.

but when it comes to the west, was there anyone else that did it longer?
Are we talking about just the Americas? Cuz there was a lot of slavery in Central & South America at the same time and afterward. Dunno about Canada because I know little about Canadian history.
