Yeah, the most prominent places that still had slave trading in 1867 (when Richard's flashback took place) were Cuba & Brazil, but why would an English speaker be of use in those places?
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

I am going to be furious if the last episode has Hurley sitting in a diner with his family when the door to the diner opens and...the screen goes to black.

English speaking might be valuable to be a go-between/translator for the Brits and his fellow slaves.

I'm sure that it wasn't current to refer to America as 'The New World' in 1867 or whatever. Should have been the 1600s.. oh well.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Eh, I am not bothered. People were certainly referring to Europe as the Old World much more recently than that.
If they weren't bringing Richard and his fellow chainees to wherever to sell them, does it matter if the slave trade was illegal? In a practical sense - Richard wouldn't know he had any other option than to do whatever they wanted him to do.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Nah, they'll be fighting a dragon and a band of monsters in a dark rainy alley.

While special guest star Kyle McLachlan bashes his head into a mirror while repeating in increasingly maniacal tones "How's Annie?" and laughing like a crazy person.
Meanwhile, Patrick MacGoohan, Leo McKern and Alexis Kanner drive into London in a very strange truck...

The scene rapidly changes from one major character's bathroom to the next, each Lostee opening their shower to find a wet naked Bobby Ewing.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I thought they might wake up in a bed with Bob Newhart holding a golf ball.
