Massachusetts was the first British colony in America to legalize slavery in 1638. For more than 200 years African slavery existed in Boston, along with Newport, Rhode Island, where by the mid 18th century, 1/3 of its population were slaves. In 1750 there were three times as many slaves in Connecticut as there were in Georgia, and four times as many in Massachusetts. Nearly all New England aristocrats used slaves for farm and household labor. In 1703 more than 42% of New York City households owned slaves.
