Africans were first brought to what is now the United States as slaves in 1619. A group of enslaved Africans was taken to Virginia by a Dutch ship, marking the beginning of a system of chattel slavery that would last for centuries. This event is often considered a pivotal moment in American history, as it laid the foundation for the institution of slavery in the colonies.
