The first slave arrived in the colonies in 1619 and was brought to work. As the colonies grew more slaves were needed to do the work.
The first Africans brought to Colonial America on English occupied territory came ashore at Point Comfort, today's Fort Monroe in Hampton, Virginia. They were later transported to plantations including Jamestown. The White Lion, an English ship flying a Dutch Flag brought the first Africans to Virginia in August of 1619. The fist enslaved Africans were considered indentured servants but in 1661 the Virginia House of Burgess declared Africans to be slaves for life.
The first colonists were English settlers, wealthy landowners from the west indies, and enslaved Africans.
