The slave trade that existed between West Africa and the Western Hemisphere began shortly after the flood of European explorers and expeditions came to the Western Hemisphere. Excluding Spanish held Florida, the area of the British colonies that first bought slaves from the Portuguese slave traders were in the British colony of Jamestown in the early 1600's. After the successful American Revolution, the thirteen former colonies continued to use slaves.If the independence of the American colonies is used as a starting point, then the US had slavery from the late 1800's to 1865.
