The 19th century was remarkable in the widespread formation of new [|settlement] foundations which were particularly prevalent across North America and Australasia, with a significant proportion of the two continents' largest cities being founded at some point in the century. In the 19th century approximately 70 million people left Europe. [|[7]] Slavery was greatly reduced around the world. Following a successful [|slave revolt in Haiti], [|Britain] forced the [|Barbary pirates] to halt their practice of kidnapping and enslaving Europeans, [|banned slavery throughout its domain] , and charged [|its navy] with ending the global [|slave trade]. [|[6]] The first empire to abolish slavery was the Portuguese Empire, followed by Britain, who did so in 1834. America's [|13th Amendment] following their [|Civil War] abolished slavery there in 1865, and in [|Brazil] slavery was abolished in 1888 (see [|Abolitionism] ). Similarly, [|serfdom] was abolished in [|Russia].
