Don't blame America, blame Christianity. Slavery is condoned in the bible.

Which also stipulates that you're supposed to set slaves free after 7 years and treat them well, two things the Americans of old never did.

So yes, it very much is an American thing - other predominantly Christian nations (along with much of the non-Christian world) had mostly already outlawed slavery or were rapidly headed that way at the time America decided to start it up. The US was very much a "late bloomer" in that regard.
