Four years after the first Europeans came to this country a ship carrying slaves made a pit stop in here. They needed some supplies and traded slaves for them. Then off they went to one of the Caribbean Islands to drop of there human beings for money. Slavery was was all over the "north" then. There were slaves in New York City. It just happened that the northern states ended the practice earlier and not by force for some reason. Maybe it wasn't so ingrained in the economy. I don't know.
