Slaves were brought to the American colonies mainly through the transatlantic slave trade, which involved European traders and African captors from the early 17th century to the early 19th century. They were forcibly transported to provide labor in plantations and households, driven by high demand for agricultural products. This system was marked by inhumane conditions during transport and a significant ethical burden that led to eventual abolition efforts.
