Introduction
Slavery in North America was one of the harsh ways the U.S came to be. In reality without slavery America would have been nothing but it wasn’t an excuse it was just wrong. The first blacks came from Africa; better yet they were taken from their homeland and brought here to America.

This was when every thing started in the 1600’s and slaves were being shipped to sugar plantations and being sold to work for people for no pay. Then to make even more profits America decided they should start to trade, thus the triangle was made in beginning of the 18th century.
