The Dutch were responsible for bringing approximately 300,000 African slaves to colonial America, particularly during the 17th century when they controlled parts of the Atlantic slave trade. They established the first significant slave trading company, the Dutch West India Company, which facilitated the transportation of enslaved people to their colonies, including New Amsterdam (later New York). While the Dutch were not the largest contributors to the transatlantic slave trade compared to other nations, their involvement played a critical role in the early development of slavery in North America.
