The first African slaves arrived in Virginia in 1619.
The first Africans arrived in the New World colonies in 1619 when a group of enslaved Africans was brought to Virginia aboard a Dutch ship. This marked the beginning of a significant and tragic chapter in American history, as the transatlantic slave trade would subsequently bring millions of Africans to the Americas. The arrival of these first enslaved individuals laid the groundwork for the institution of slavery that would dominate the Southern economy and society for centuries.
