Respuesta :

slaves were brought to Jamestown in 1619 I believe

Answer:

Black slaves were brought to Jamestown in 1619.

Explanation:

Jamestown or Jamestown Fort, was the first permanent English settlement in the present territory of the United States. It was founded in 1607 on the banks of the James River on a peninsula (now Jamestown Island), in the current county of James City, Virginia.

In 1619 there were already blacks in Jamestown but it is not known whether in a regime of slavery or freedom, since in the Anglo-Saxon world of that time the limit was not well defined. Perhaps it was of both, although some historians think that one can not speak of slaves in Virginia before the middle of the seventeenth century and that, in fact, until then blacks were servants with contracts.
