Only in a limited sense. Slavery is recorded in very early civilizations, such as Sumeria, Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient America etc. and was widespread for millennia. European colonization of the New World, from 1492 onwards, led to a massive expansion of slavery, and the establishment of the Atlantic slave trade. Haiti (then Hispaniola) played an early part in this, receiving the first recorded shipment of enslaved Africans in 1502 (compared to 1607 for the Thirteen Colonies) - but Spanish conquistadors had tried enslaving native Americans in the Caribbean even before this.

Where slavery begin
Slavery in Haiti was officially abolished by the Haitian government in 1804, after a successful slave revolt led by Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines. This made Haiti the first independent nation in Latin America and the Caribbean to abolish slavery.
Haiti's history is closely tied to slavery due to its establishment as a French colony known for producing sugar, coffee, and other crops through the use of enslaved Africans. The Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) was the only successful slave rebellion that led to the abolition of slavery in Haiti and the formation of the first independent black-led nation in the Western Hemisphere. Slavery played a significant role in shaping Haiti's social, economic, and political landscape.
Haiti was the first Caribbean country to achieve independence from slavery in 1804 after a successful slave revolt against French colonial rule.
