Historical NoteReturn to Top
White colonists practiced enslavement in the American colonies, and later the United States of America, from approximately 1619 until passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865. These colonists participated in the Atlantic slave trade of people predominantly from central and western parts of Africa, although Indigenous peoples in the Americas were also enslaved by colonists. Enslavement involved dehumanization, withholding of civil rights, forced labor, torture, rape, murder, forced separation of families and other violence.
