The Start of Slavery in North AmericaHistorians normally date the start of slavery in the North American colonies to 1619. That year, a Dutch ship carrying African slaves docked at Point Comfort, which served as Jamestown's checkpoint for ships wanting to trade with the colonists.
The crew of the Dutch ship was starving, and as John Rolfe noted in a letter to the Virginia Company's treasurer Edwin Sandys, the Dutch traded 20 African slaves for food and supplies.
If the Question is slavery in the U.S. that would be 1776 to 1865.

∙ 17y agoDepends on which country you are taling about. Ancient Greece and Rome both had slaves as part of their penal systems as well as the loosers in combat. Most European countries had some formof slavery under Roman rule. When people expaned n to the "new world" sme groups believed in slave lbor such as the Spanish Conquistadors who would subjugate idigenous tribes. Then there were plantation ownes in the southern United States who were bringing slaves almost as soon as they arrived in the 17th and 18th centuries.
