In Europe, I understand the first Country was Portugal?Slavery in the New World pretty much began with providing labor for the Sugar Plantations in Recif, Brazil. The Dutch West Indies company had a lot of stockholders.
I don't think the Dutch or any Europeans got beyond coastal Africa. What gold were they looking for and where?
