He said Florida became a state in 1821, that mean the Bahamas still had slavery as well Because the British abolished slavery in 1834 and Florida got statehood in 1845, but the Spanish gave up Florida in 1821.
In 1825 the British government declared that anyone who traveled to British grounds, regardless of their prior status, was free and nine years later in August 1834, slavery was abolished throughout all British territories including the Bahamas. In the Early 1800’s slavery in British Canada and British held territories was already heavily restricted and abolished in some places and unlike southern states, black people in the Bahamas in the 1800’s could of own land, get an education, get married and have their own business.
