    Which was the last country in the Americas to abolish slavery (in the plain, literal sense) and when?

    		I have found a couple of sites that all say totally different things (which, of course, doesn't help at all), but it is either Nicaragua, Honduras, or Guatemala.

    My personal opinion would be Honduras.
