Both started slavery in the United States. Slaves were used in both the North and the South. Even George Washington had a slave. When the government outlawed slavery, some states broke away and formed a confederacy. These states wanted slavery because of the mass amount of plantations in the south. The northern states did not have many plantations, which depended on slaves.

The answer to his question would be that slavery was started in the North.. by the Dutch... in the region known as New Netherlands --later to be renamed New York.

Slavery of Africans became prevalent in both the North and the South at around the same time..

Northern slavery grew out of the paradox that in the new world so much land was available, so cheaply, that no one was willing to come to America and sign on to work as a laborer.

The dream that drew Europeans across the Atlantic was owning acres of land or making a fortune in a trade or a craft. It was an attainable dream.

Yet workers were needed in the new continent to clear the land, work the soil, build towns and because of this acute labor shortage -- all the American colonies turned to compulsory labor.
