African Americans first ventured into Kentucky in the late 18th century, primarily as enslaved individuals brought by European settlers. The state was part of the western expansion of slavery, with many enslaved Africans forced to work on tobacco and hemp plantations. The 1792 admission of Kentucky as a state further solidified the institution of slavery, leading to a significant African American population, both enslaved and free, by the early 19th century.
