Most were brought to North America between 1650 and 1800. Most arrived on Spanish ships. During this period of time these Spanish ships delivered about 12 million black people all over the world. Only 645,000 were brought to what is now known as the United States.
1619Slavery in America began when the first African slaves were brought to the North American colony of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, to aid in the production of such lucrative crops as tobacco.
The first African slaves used by Europeans were used by the Portuguese, on the island of Sao Tome, to grow sugarcane. The Spanish were the first to use African slaves in the Americas (in the Caribbean), and the first English colony to use African slaves was Jamestown, Virginia (which was the first English colony in the New World). However, long before Europeans used African slaves, the Africans had slaves who were African!
The first African slaves were brought to the American colonies by the Spanish. They were located in the San Miguel de Gualdape colony, founded by Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon.

1619 was the first year on record, in which a small group of African Americans were brought to Roanoke (I believe). There weren't any written laws specifically defining slavery, so there isn't anything concrete to suggest that they were initially slaves.
