Let’s see, the British brought African slavery to the North American continent

So did the Dutch. But slavery began in the Middle East where they sold their own people into slavery, not to mention they kept slaves themselves up until slavery in the Middle East wasn't outlawed some time in the 1970s if my information is correct.

The first slaves were brought here, to the Virginia colony, by the Portugese. They were employed under the same conditions as indentured servants, until a court case changed their status.
