The first colonists brought no slaves with them. Slaves only arrived in America when the British Crown instituted it as a punishment to send convicts or debtors to the colony's to work on the plantations as repayment to society. Modern slavery is strictly a European invention. Sad part is that England abolished slavery in 1833 while it took us another 30 years and a civil war that almost destroyed the union of our great states.
