Slaves are all races: White, Black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian.
The Garafuna are descended from slaves that were shipwrecked on
slaves could inherit their masters property. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am not sure about the veracity of the above:- In Africa and indeed across Europe in ancient times slaves were taken as part of conquest when one people attacked another and the ethnicity of the slaves (and masters) was varied. Anyone from any race could be a slave and anyone from any race could be a master. In America all slaves were black Africans and slavery became a racial issue - to justify (in their own minds) what they were doing the white slavers needed to regard the people they had enslaved as inherently inferior humans (because it would be wrong to enslave someone who was equal). This is what made the transatlantic slave trade different.
Slaves from Africa were often preferred over indigenous slaves because they were viewed as better suited for agricultural labor due to their experience in farming and working in tropical climates. Additionally, African slaves were more resistant to diseases like malaria that were prevalent in the Caribbean and Americas, making them more valuable to plantation owners.
Slaves in Africa were traded primarily for goods such as textiles, beads, weapons, alcohol, and other commodities. The transatlantic slave trade involved the exchange of slaves for manufactured goods, rum, firearms, and other items by European colonizers.
African slaves were not the first to work as slaves on plantations. Slavery has existed for thousands of years in various forms across different civilizations. In the Americas, indigenous peoples and Europeans also faced enslavement and forced labor on plantations before African slaves were brought over.

Slaves. If you are reffering to their race/skin color of northern american slaves in the 1800's then they are called 'African Americans'
It's not as published as the African American slaves, but yes they certainly were. Every race, or religion were slaves to another race or religion at some point. The Irish were white, and they were enslaved and sold as well.
Some slaves came with their owners when they were settlers. Others came [were actually shipped] from the Colombian Exchange. Others that were legal settlers became slaves because of their race.
