Slavery in the United States was the legal institution of human chattel slavery that existed in the United States of America in the 18th and 19th centuries after it gained independence and before the end of the American Civil War.he United States was polarized over the issue of slavery, represented by the slave and free states divided by the MasonâDixon line, which separated free Pennsylvania from slave Maryland and Delaware.
By the mid-eighteenth century, slaves accounted for as many as a third of the population in that area. Slavery existed in colonial Louisiana continuously during the French (1699 â 1763, and 1800 â 1803) and Spanish (1763 â 1800) periods of government. The first people enslaved by the French were native Americans.ntil the early 18th century, enslaved Africans were difficult to acquire in the colonies that became the United States, as most were sold in the West Indies. One of the first major establishments of African slavery in these colonies occurred with the founding of Charles Town and the Province of Carolina in 1670.
