Slaves were bought from tribes people from within Africa and sold to slave traders that cam and went on that coast. These slaves were bought into many harbors in America, primarily in the Southern States to be bought as workers in the cotton fields and other various minial jobs.
Two interesting points that I learn recently. Free Black Individuals were allowed (and did indeed) to own slaves in the south. Abe Lincoln never lived to see the end of slavery. He died shortly after the civil war ended. Slavery was not made illegal until the December after his death. The end of the civil war did not end slavery either.The slaves in northern states (yes, there were slaves states in the north during the war!) remained slaves after the war ended. Did you also know that there were black soldiers in the south during the war fighting against the north? The issue was a states rights issue.
when and where were the first slaves sold in america
Not much difference. Africans captured Africans and either kept them, sold them to other Africans, or sold them to whites.
The first slaves were sold in 1665.

people where not taken and just sold as slaves in America they where sold off in there own country by there own people so it was not all the white people in the slavery era.. and yes it was the African Americans.
To be sold in America or the Caribbean
All over in the thirteen origonal colonies.
Africans from West Africa were taken to the Western Hemisphere and sold as slaves to the European colonists.
The African slaves that were transported to America were originally sold by other Africans to the merchant ships landing along the west coast of Africa.
