Most of the posts here DONT know american history. There was NO United States in the 1600s. Other countries had colonies here. There wasn't just 1 country here. This land didn't become the US of A until th end of the American Revolutionary War in the 1780s.
Slavery has NEVER existed in USA for 400 years.
You spread false, misinformed information all the time. Learn to read & try concentrating if you do.

In the late 1600s, slaves from Africa began arriving in those colonies where large-scale agriculture could be profitable. Crops like cotton, indigo, and tobacco, raised in the hot and humid southeast, were perfectly suited to low skilled, unpaid labor, and made the south the agricultural engine of the British North American colonies. Britain passed the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act of 1807, and then outlawed all slavery in the British Empire in 1833. The U.S. banned the importation of slaves into the U.S. in 1808, after 300,000 slaves had already arrived. From that point on, and until slavery was abolished at the end of the Civil War, Virginia became a net exporter of slaves to the burgeoning slave economies of the Deep South: Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.

The first Africans came back and forth in the late 16th century as indentured servants on ships, helping Europe clear the way for the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trades. There were no African 'immigrants' at that time. They were forced to be non-compensated slaves, restricted from living as human beings, and stripped of their Hebraic/Nubian culture.
