Kenya, the country of Obama's father, ended slavery in the late 1800's, due to pressure from the British government: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya. Note that the American Civil War ended in 1865. Before Britain stopped them, the Kenyans sold slaves to Arabs and whites. Therefore, it's very likely that some slaves sold in America were originally enslaved by relations of Obama, and that relations of McCain helped end that practice.

Note: Obama's father was a politician (ruler) from Kenya, and was not a descendant of American slaves.
