What year did slavery start in the US?

Slaves in Colonies

In 1619, a Dutch ship arrived in Jamestown, Virginia. It picked up tobacco and paid for it with 20 black African captives which the Dutch probably had seized from a slave trader bound for the Spanish West Indies. By 1700, enslaved blacks would comprise a majority of the work force in some of the southern colonies.
