Original Note:
The USA was created in 1776, not 1619. Using the ambiguity between "America" and the USA, then the Portuguese took enslaved people to the Americas in 1526 to their colonies. If America means "anywhere now in the USA", the Spanish took enslaved people to Florida in 1539. https://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-resources/teacher-resources/historical-context-facts-about-slave-trade-and-slavery
