What is slavery?

Being a slave, who is unable to leave the duty they are performing for an enslaver and who is treated as the enslaver's property, is both the state and the condition of being an enslaved person.

Slavery was introduced to the western hemisphere in the 1500s by European settlers. White settlers relied more on imported slaves from Africa when they became unable to acquire affordable labor from other sources. Enslavement has come to denote African slavery in British North America by the early 1700s.
