In early America, mostly. In the world, absolutely not. Our word "slave" comes from the world "slav," a European (white) people who were apparently taken as slaves a lot back in the day.

Where did the America get there slaves from and why?
It was a different time. Slavery had been an accepted institution for thousands of years. As falsely depicted, white men did not dock their ships on the beach and go on raiding parties to steal away women and children. Their were powerful black kingdoms in existence who would have slaughtered the whites if that were true. The truth is that black slaves were sold in Africa in black slave markets. They were conquered peoples, prisoners of war, and victims of kidnappings. The slave trade became a huge financial business. The poison of slave trading started in America in l6l9 and continued for many years. Slave trading STILL exists to this day in parts of Africa.
