The distinction between manslaughter and murder in the US system came along with the common law imported from the UK during the colonial period.

Because of the common law model, there is no specific date available to pin point exactly when the offense was recognized. It is probably derived from earlier criminal homicide liability models adopted from Roman and Greek systems of law.
