Approximately 400,000 enslaved Africans were forcibly brought to what would become the 13 Colonies between the 17th and 19th centuries. The majority arrived during the 18th century, with the transatlantic slave trade playing a significant role in the labor force, particularly in the southern colonies. This forced migration had profound impacts on the economic, social, and cultural development of the region.
Between 1700 and 1775, approximately 400,000 enslaved Africans were brought to the British North American colonies. This period saw the expansion of the transatlantic slave trade, with enslaved people primarily arriving in the southern colonies to work on plantations. The demand for labor in tobacco, rice, and eventually cotton cultivation fueled this influx. By the mid-18th century, slavery had become a central institution in the economy and society of the colonies.
The labor force for the Chesapeake colonies primarily consisted of indentured servants and, later, enslaved Africans. Initially, many laborers were English indentured servants who agreed to work for a specified period in exchange for passage to the Americas and the promise of land or freedom afterward. As the demand for labor increased, especially for tobacco cultivation, the colonies increasingly turned to enslaved Africans, leading to a significant shift in the labor force by the late 17th century. This reliance on enslaved labor became a defining characteristic of the Chesapeake economy.

The Stono Rebellion was successful in the sense that it was the largest slave rebellion in the British colonies before the American Revolution. Enslaved Africans successfully gathered weapons and launched a coordinated attack against their oppressors, resulting in the deaths of many white colonists. However, the rebellion was eventually suppressed by the colonial militia, and the enslaved Africans were either killed or captured.
