...the Americas had no slavery before the Europeans and Africans came over...

The Native American Indians didn't enslave others?.........or did they just kill the men?........

I could be wrong but I really haven't researched it extensively, but for what I've read (and not just in works of fiction, whether based in fact or not), they killed them all the men. Actually, I don't know for certain what they did with women and children, if they were enslaved or assimilated in the new society, so I won't make any more such pronouncements on the subject.

Jamestown Virginia was founded in 1607
First Africans arrived in 1619 as indentured servants.
