In the 1700s, Rhode Island was significant in Black history due to its involvement in the transatlantic slave trade, becoming one of the largest slave-trading colonies in America. Enslaved Africans were used extensively in agriculture and domestic work, while a growing free Black population began to emerge, particularly in urban areas like Newport. The presence of anti-slavery sentiment, spurred by the Enlightenment and religious movements, also contributed to early abolitionist efforts. Notably, figures like Paul Cuffe, a prominent Black businessman and abolitionist, began to advocate for the rights and freedom of African Americans during this period.
