Brazil had the largest amount of African slaves and was one of the last countries to officially outlaw it. The rest of the new world was also heavily race mixed by the Spanish and Portuguese.

Oddly, the colonies they held in Africa was much more White Nationalist. Portugal was the best ally that Rhodesia and Apartheid South Africa had, and they fought against Communism. I also never heard any stories of mass race-mixing, like what happened in Brazil/Mexico.

It would be interesting to know what proportion of colonists in Portoguese Angola/Mozambique were female. The lack of white women was the main driver of race mixing in the new world.
