Slavery first reached the New World in 1619 when a Dutch slave trader sold Native Africans to English settlers at the Jamestown settlement in Virginia. This marked the beginning of a system of chattel slavery that would expand throughout the American colonies. The introduction of enslaved Africans significantly impacted the economy and social structure of the region.
