Black slavery refers to the system in which European colonialists forced black people to perform slave labor in Latin America.

In the mid-15th century, the Portuguese captured black people on the coast of West Africa and shipped them to Europe for sale, thus starting the modern African slave trade.

In Latin America, the use of black slave labor is very widespread. In addition to working on various plantations (sugar cane, cotton, tobacco, coffee), black slaves are also engaged in herding, mining, and serving as domestic servants. Slave owners also sent slaves to carry out transportation and handicraft production, but these slaves had to pay their owners a specified amount of their income.

In the 1880s, Cuba and Brazil finally announced the abolition of slavery, and slavery officially ended in Latin America.
