African-Americans in the Colonies

SKU 20488

In 1619 the first Africans arrived in Jamestown, Virginia. These first Africans were probably treated like indentured servants who would be able to earn their freedom after several years of work. Slavery did not become legal in America until 1641. This book covers this period in history up to the Civil War. Part of the "We the People" series. (Library binding - 46 pages).
