The number of enslaved individuals in Colonial America varied over time and by region, but by the late 18th century, it is estimated that there were about 500,000 enslaved people in the thirteen colonies. The majority were concentrated in the Southern colonies, where plantation agriculture relied heavily on slave labor. The population of enslaved individuals grew significantly due to both natural increase and the transatlantic slave trade, which brought millions of Africans to the Americas.
