Like many developing nations who engaged in slavery, US slaves were originally captured in their home countries and brought to America as slaves. Their children would then have been born into slavery. As time passed and some states abolished slavery, there was still a chance that those slaves who had been freed or even born free might have been (illegally) sold back into slavery in states where it was still allowed.
