On February 1, 1835, slavery was abolished in Mauritius. Six years later, in the American Civil War, Texas seceded from the United States. On this date in 1865, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, abolishing chattel slavery in the U. S.

Pretty sure that Texas didn’t secede until 1861, which would have been 26 years later.
