Best Answer

Many Africans were taken prisoner and sold as slaves all around the Caribbean, including Trinidad. The slave trade ended for good when it was abolished in 1807 by Britain and in 1808 by the United States, and both the US Navy and the Royal Navy would seize slave ships at sea. Slavery itself was abolished in 1838.

Since then, people of African descent have lived freely in Trinidad, and many have moved on to other places. So, no, black people did not come from Trinidad originally, but many blacks come "from Trinidad" now.
