Explanation:
Sl4very arrived in North America alongside the Spanish and English colonists of the 17th and 18th centuries, with an estimated 645,000 Africans imported during the more than 250 years the institution was legal. But sl4very never existed without controversy. The British colony of Georgia banned sl4very from 1735 to 1750, although it remained legal in the other 12 colonies. After the American Revolution, northern states one by one passed laws, and the sectional divide began to open as the South became increasingly committed to sl4very. Once called a necessary evil by Thomas Jefferson, proponents of slavery increasingly switched their rhetoric to one that described sl4very as a benevolent Christian institution that benefited all parties.
