@brotherdave ...
Slavery in the United States was the legitimate institutionalization of the enslavement of humanity that existed in the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries. Slavery was once held in North America of British colonies from the early days of colonization, and was also recognized in the Thirteen Colonies at the time of the Proclamation of Independence in 1776 ....When the United States was founded, although some free-colored people existed, the status of slaves usually coincided with African descent, it created a system and tradition in which race played a very influential role. Slavery in the United States took place legally until the United States' 13th Amendment to the Constitution of 1865. Slavery had begun since the British colonization of Virginiat in 1607, although African slaves had been brought to Florida Spain in the 1560s
