Slavery was first introduced in Massachusetts in the early 17th century, with the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in 1638. The colony's economy began to incorporate slave labor, particularly in agriculture and domestic service. By the late 17th century, slavery was legally recognized in Massachusetts, although it would later be challenged and gradually abolished in the 18th and 19th centuries.
