African slaves were brought to the American colonies beginning in 1526. They were first brought to the San Miguel de Guadalupe colony, in present-day South Carolina. The colony was unsuccessful and the Africans fled to live with Native Americans, but in 1565 the first permanent settlement of Saint Augustine in Florida had slaves.

One became a slave because they were in economic trouble, or was a captured war prisoner. However, a person was not a slave for very long.
