The slaves' birthdays were not recorded primarily because they were considered property and not granted legal rights or recognition as individuals. Recording their birthdays would have challenged the system of slavery by acknowledging their humanity and individuality. Additionally, the oppressive conditions of slavery made it difficult for slaves to keep track of their own birthdays, and slave owners had little incentive to document this information.

First slaves in America were used in this colony?
The first recorded use of Africans as slaves in the American colony was in 1619. 20 of them were transported to the Virginian colony. Although, before and after that, whites tried to use American Indians as slaves. They proved to be useless due to their "wild instincts". They had no clue how to work on a plantation. Even after that, some poor whites were taken from England and Ireland to be used as slaves. Both of those ideas vanished quickly due to sudden and fatal problems.
