First colonized in 1787 when the British founded Freetown (now the capital) as a settlement for Africans freed from slavery. The coastal region became a British colony in 1808, with the interior annexed in 1896. Independence was achieved in 1961. Resource: About.com
African slavery was already in practice when Europeans first arrived to purchase slaves in the early 16th century. Warring African tribes and factions often enslaved prisoners of war, or invaded enemy villages to kidnap and enslave villagers. The tribe leaders made a sort of business selling the slaves to European customers. Though some slaves were sold to the European continent, the majority were shipped to colonies in the New World for labor.
