QuoteIn 1619 twenty Africans were brought by a Dutch soldier and sold to the English colony of Jamestown, Virginia as indentured servants. It is possible that Africans were brought to Virginia prior to this, both because neither John Rolfe our source on the 1619 shipment nor any contemporary of his ever says that this was the first contingent of Africans to come to Virginia and because the 1625 Virginia census lists one black as coming on a ship that appears to only have landed people in Virginia prior to 1619.[198] The transformation from indentured servitude to racial slavery happened gradually. It was not until 1661 that a reference to slavery entered into Virginia law, directed at Caucasian servants who ran away with a black servant. It was not until the Slave Codes of 1705 that the status of African Americans as slaves would be sealed. This status would last for another 160 years, until after the end of the American Civil War with the ratification of the 13th Amendment in December 1865.
Only a fraction of the enslaved Africans brought to the New World ended up in British North America-- perhaps 5%. The vast majority of slaves shipped across the Atlantic were sent to the Caribbean sugar colonies, Brazil, or Spanish America.

* 1642: Massachusetts becomes the first colony to legalize slavery.
* 1650: Connecticut legalizes slavery.
* 1661: Virginia officially recognizes slavery by statute.
* 1662: A Virginia statute declares that children born would have the same status as their mother.

It appears that Eurpoeans brought slavery to the US with them.
What are the European slave traders that brought this "wonderfull" way of life to the US doing for Blacks?

LMAO - WOW - hof obtuse can one possibly be.
1) YOU bring up that it was centuries ago -
2) I asked how many slaves were owned by US Citizens in the time period 3 to 4 centuries ago - you cannot answer that question.
3) You post that the colonies brought in slavery and gave dates - that should be a clue - but for some reason you just cant see it.
4) THEN you say even though Europeans brought something here - it is modern day people's fault that they did.
Have you actually ever heard of logic?
SO - please - lets start again - just answer the question please. How many slaves were owned by US Citizens 4 centuries ago, or even 3 centuries ago.
I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

no, i've brought up the fact that blacks will never achieve equal wealth with whites under the current system.
(you're the one who wants to bring up other countries responsibility for slavery)

Did you or did you NOT post this:

The Atlantic slave trade, also known as the transatlantic slave trade, was the trading, primarily of African people, to the colonies of the New World that occurred in and around the Atlantic Ocean. It lasted from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Most enslaved people were shipped from West Africa and Central Africa and taken to North and South America[1] to labor on sugar, coffee, cocoa and cotton plantations, in gold and silver mines, in rice fields, or in houses to work as servants. The shippers were, in order of scale, the Portuguese (and Brazilians), the British, the French, the Spanish, the Dutch, and the North Americans.[1] Enslaved people were generally obtained through coastal trading with Africans, though some were captured by European slave traders through raids and kidnapping.[2][3] Most contemporary historians estimate that between 9.4 and 12 million[4][5] Africans arrived in the New World,[6][7] although the actual number of people taken from their homestead is considerably higher.[8][9][10]
The slave trade is sometimes called the Maafa by African and African-American scholars, meaning "holocaust" or "great disaster" in Swahili. Some scholars use the terms African Holocaust or Holocaust of Enslavement. Slavery was one element of a three-part economic cycle — the triangular trade and its Middle Passage — which ultimately involved four continents, four centuries and millions of people.

meanwhile, in the present day, blacks will never achieve equal wealth with whites. why is this?

nah, just highlighting your continued inaccuracies. I already answered to the bigger question - complete high school or suffer.
