Grammar
was or has been ?
Hi,
I'm translating something and wonder if what I wrote is correct
Is is correct grammar wise (sequence of tenses) to write :
How has slavery influenced art forms in Europe and in the Americas since it was abolished in 1865 ?
or can I also write :
How has slavery influenced art forms in Europe and in the Americas since it has been abolished in 1865 ?
Could you please tell me which one is correct both grammar and fact wise (slavery was abolished that is a fact so we should be abe to use the past continuous right ?)
thanks a lot !
