when i looked this up, i got many different answers but it was 1619 when the first slaves entered the colonies
There were approximately 500,000 slaves at the end of the colonial period. The American Revolutionary War found slaves fighting on both sides of the conflict. The British unilaterally promised freedom to any slave fighting on Britain's side and thousands took them up on this. Some slaves, however, fought alongside their masters.
Not all African Americans were slaves. Many were free African Americans while others were so light in their skin color so they could pass as a white. Some free African Americans owned slaves themselves.
The first Slaves arrived to america arrived in the us colonies and they were thirdteen of them. ^_^
Southern planters required a low cost source of labor to harvest crops. As a result, they became customers of the Triangular Slave Trade and introduced African slaves into the colonies. These slaves, from various parts of Africa, contributed to the culture of the south and helped to make it ethnically diverse.
The culture of the colonies aged many slaves to become Christians---> Apex

In 1671, there were approximately 50,000 enslaved people in the English colonies. The number varied across different regions, with the majority of slaves living in the southern colonies of Virginia and Barbados.
African slaves helped farm crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo in the southern colonies of North America. These crops were labor-intensive and required knowledge and skills that many African slaves possessed.
There was so many people in the middle colonies of different colors because the middle colonies didnt have slaves so anyone would be treated the same. There wasn't many African slaves, or any slaves.
Many African Americans in the English colonies were indentured servants or slaves. Even free African Americans had to deal with discrimination and laws that reduced their rights compared to Caucasians.
By 1750, about 200,000 slaves lived in the colonies.
