Interestingly, while Africans made up most of the slave population, there was another, more unique source of slaves. Debtors and prisoners of war of any race could be made to work as a slave. In the case of those unable to pay debts, they were specifically made to work for the person they owed to until it was worked off.
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.
slavery was hard and cruel like it was in America, but it was not based on race it was based on wealth. and the people who couldn't pay for housing or food became slaves. it was meant to be that the slaves were to be treated fairly and got the same food as their masters but eventually the masters got greedy and treated them harshly and sold/bought them like animals.

Benjamin Franklin owned at least two slaves, George and King, before becoming an avid abolitionist in the years following the Revolutionary War. I would add Peter and Jemima who are mentioned in his will to be freed but had already died before Franklin. There was also Othello who died at a young age. So that makes five and he had two slaves long after he became an abolitionist.
