In 1710, there were only 50,000 slaves in the English colonies and the number of slaves grow from 220,000, in 1750, to 687,624, in 1790. These was one-fifth of the colonies population, at that point in time. In the first half of the
19th century, American slavery was at its peak. By 1850, the slave population grow to 3,204,313; that's about a few thousand more than Brazil.
