Is there a way I can create an event that when triggered, ends slavery on a global scale ? Sort of a fantasia kind of option ?

What's the point ?
I do see this as simply PC'ness for PC'ness sake, and thus rather futile.
IMHO you could do a simple search&replace on the POP files, replacing the 'slave' POP type with 'labourer', and everything should work correctly afterwards.
So, step-by-step :
There should be a large number of files like "scenarios/1861/Newyork_Irish.csv" that contain the POP definitions.
They should consist of lines like 581;Irish;Catholic;farmers;;;;4
So you would need to search&replace all occurences of "slaves" in all of these files with "farmers" or "labourers" - either with notepad, manually opening each file, or by finding some utility on the 'net that would allow you to do this automatically - and voila, a world with no slaves. The American Civil War events might break, though.

What's the point of any mod, obviously to play the game differently than it was set up. Suggesting political correctness when I'm the only one playing my game is rather stupid.
You could change all of the slave POPs so that they're no longer slaves.
You might have to then change certain events, though.
Slavery on a global scale was finished when Brazil emancipated its slaves in the 1880s.
Russia and the US did it in the 1860 (yes I am calling serfs slaves as they could be bought and sold).
Only in the deepest darkist parts of africa and the mideast did the practice continue.
I think the game would be much better if there was a trigger say in the 1880s that elimated the practice and converted all slaves into labourers or farmers.

The only reason for such a mod I can think of is PCness. Whether or not that is a good or bad thing is irrelevant. You playing it alone doesnt make it any less PC.
And yes feel free to make such a mod.
No the reason for the mod is to remove slavery at the correct moment in history. To still have slaves in 1920 is ridiculous, this has nothing to do with being PC!!!
Well, having no slaves in 1836 is ahistorical also.
Aren't there inventions or events for the american countries that convert the slaves to free people ? I thought that there are ?

There is another... Slaves cannot be upgraded to craftmen or clerks, etc if I'm correct... No slaves would mean more possibilities to organise the pops in factories, military and such...
Because "PCness" is the only reason you can think of doesn't mean that's the only reason that exists. Think harder.
Here is an event that will work if you meet the conditions
event = {
id = 24505
random = no
trigger = {
constitution = { type = democracy }
reform = { type = voting_rights level = suffrage }
slavery = yes
}
name = "Slaves are released"
desc = "Due to our Goverment Policies, all slaves are released to be Free"
style = 0
date = { day = 2 month = january year = 1836 }
offset = 30
deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1920 }
action_a = {
name = "Freedom" # Free them all
command = { type = convert_pop_type which = slaves value = labourers }
}
}
Copy that and put it into the randomevents.txt file at the end. It'll only work if your country is a Democracy and has Suffrage as the voting reform.
I've been trying to get it to work on a Monthly check basis (see here for that thread), but not lucking out so far. It'll be moot anyway once 1.02 is released, as a country without slaves taking a province that has slaves will free them (in the manual) and it is stated as fixed in the resolved bugs thread in the bug forum.
Cheers
