Slaves first arrived in America in 1619 when a group of about 20 African individuals were brought to the English colony of Virginia. They were captured by Portuguese slave traders and sold to English colonists, marking the beginning of African slavery in what would become the United States. This event set the stage for the widespread institutionalization of slavery in the American colonies.
