Slavery in america: a timeline

Slavery was initiated in North America in 1619 and lasted until the passage and ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment to the US Constitution in 1870. During the 251 intervening years, there were numerous events, laws, and compromises that directly impacted slaves, slaveholders, freemen, abolitionists, politicians, and lawmakers.

In this assignment, you will gain a greater understanding of how slavery took over the entire nation. You will have an opportunity to examine the growth and demise of this institution.
