Where did most slavery occur in the 13 colonies?
Forced labor emerged in the colonies because there was a need for workers. When settlers sought commercial exploitation of the staples that were grown in the colonies they needed people to do the work. Although the first slaves show up in 1619 in the colonies most of the work was done by indentured servants at first. Only after 1680 when the flow of white indentured migrants from Europe slowed did the slavery increase. By the middle of the 18th century slavery existed in all 13 colonies and formed the heart of the labor system in the southern colonies. In the years after the revolution, slavery wasn't as important in the north as it was in the south. Between 1774 and 1804 the northern states abolished slavery. In some states this was immediate, but in others like New York and New Jersey it was gradual freeing slaves born after the passage of the state's emancipation act when they reached their 20's. The invention of the cotton gin sharply increased the numbers of slaves used and made it possible for the start of a vast new slave empire as southerners moved west. In 1776 there were only about half million slaves in both the north and south, but by 1860 the country held about 4 million slaves mainly in the south.
