1619  A Dutch ship brings 20 African indentured servants to the English colony of Jamestown, Virginia.

1739  One of the earliest slave revolts takes place in Stono, South Carolina. Many whites and more than twice as many black slaves are killed as the armed slaves try to flee to Florida.

1773  The first book by an African American is published in England when Phillis Wheatley, then a slave, publishes "Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Morals."

1775  George Washington changes a previous policy and allows free blacks to enlist in the Continental Army. Approximately 5,000 do so. The British governor of Virginia promises freedom to slaves who enlist with the British.

1776  A passage condemning the slave trade is removed from the Declaration of Independence due to pressure from the southern colonies.

1787  The U.S. Constitution is ratified. It allowed for the continuation of the slave trade for another 20 years. The U.S. Constitution also required states to aid slaveholders in the recovery of fugitive slaves.  Congress passes the first Fugitive Slave Act, which makes it a crime to harbor an escaped slave. 1793

1800  Gabriel Prosser tries to organize the first large- scale slave revolt in the U.S., gathering more than 1,000 armed slaves in Virginia. The revolt fails, and Prosser and more than 35 other slaves are executed.

1807  The Congress bans the importation of African slaves into the U.S. For the most part, this law was ignored in the South.  Abolitionist William Lloyd Garrisons starts to publish The Liberator, a fiercely anti-slavery newspaper, in Boston.  Nat Turner leads a slave rebellion in Virginia. Fifty-seven whites are killed, but Turner is eventually captured and executed. 1831

1839  Slaves being transported aboard the Spanish ship Amistad take it over and sail it to Long Island. They eventually win their freedom in a Supreme Court case.

1845  Frederick Douglass publishes his autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, Written by Himself. It became an international bestseller and Helped inspire many people to Join the abolitionist movement.

1849  Harriet Tubman escaped from slavery. She returned to the South and became one of the main "conductors" on the Underground Railroad, helping more than 300 escaped slaves find freedom.

1850  Congress passes another Fugitive Slave Act, which mandates government support for the capture of escaped slaves, and spurs widespread protest in the North. –Bostonian transcendentalist author Ralph Waldo Emerson becomes an outspoken opponent to the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850.

1851  Freedwoman Sojourner Truth, a compelling speaker for abolitionism, gives her famous "Ain't I a Woman" speech in Akron, Ohio.

1852  Harriet Beecher Stowe publishes her anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, which is an immediate bestseller and helps turn public opinion against the Fugitive Slave Act and slavery itself.

1857  In the Dred Scott case, the U.S. Supreme Court decides that African Americans are not citizens of the U.S. Therefore, Congress has no power to restrict slavery in any federal territory. This meant that a slave who made it to a free state would still be considered a slave.

1861  The Civil War begins when the Confederates attack Fort Sumter, in Charleston, South Carolina. The war, fought over the issue of slavery, will rage for another four years. The Union's victory will mean the end of slavery in the U.S.
