The Dutch were responsible for bringing approximately 300,000 enslaved Africans to the Americas during the 17th century, primarily to their colonies in the Caribbean, such as Suriname and the Dutch Antilles. They also played a significant role in the early slave trade in North America, particularly in New Amsterdam (now New York City), where they imported enslaved individuals to work in various capacities. While their total contribution to the slave trade is smaller compared to other European powers, such as the British and Portuguese, the Dutch established early patterns of slavery in the region.
