jan 1, 1619 - First Arrival of Slaves to Virginia
Description:
The first arrival of slaves were the first time that America is involved with human transport over seas. The Thirteen Colonies have had slaves (Indians and captured soldiers) but on the same continent. This trade started the 4.4 million African slaves transport to America. The conditions on the boat where so horrible that 15-30% of the "cargo" died on the boat. This would start the famous The Triangle Trade.
